Wimbledonian can make the journey up from Addlestrop pay off, with Harrovian and Kinburn expected to give her most to do. Wimbledonian appreciated the step up in trip when opening her account at Folkestone in March, beating a 110-rated rival in the process. As that was only her second outing over hurdles, she can only improve and with trip and ground to suit, she must surely take all the beating. Harrovian got to within a length of Iris's Gift on his bumper debut for Ferdy Murphy at Newbury two years ago but has not been seen much since. He has now switched stables to Pauline Robson, and ran encouragingly on his return to action when third at Kelso last month. Tony Dobbin is an eye catching jockey booking and he can be expected to play a part in the finish. Kinburn also ran well behind fairly useful company at Kelso on the same day as Harrovian and will appreciate the longer trip here, without perhaps being good enough. Wimbledonian may have a lot more to offer and can follow up.
