Verdict

Uptown Harry took advantage of a tumbling mark to score in a higher grade at Carlisle in March and is only 3lb higher here but NO REGRETS finally got his head in front over fences at Wetherby last time and he looks the one to be on here. Storm Lorenzo hasn’t run since unseating his rider when favourite here in December but the winning pointer Lights Are Green is worth a second look having run well for a long way on his chasing debut here last month before falling when tired at the last. Hold The Note may be best of the rest.
