Verdict

Harvey's Hope was second to Vodka Wells, who runs in the previous race, over 2m here last month. He has place claims but TEKTHELOT looks to be his stable's best hope of landing first prize. Brian Hughes' mount also ran over 2m here last time, when Hunters Belt was well beaten, giving the impression the extra half-mile would suit. Ballyvoque is closely matched with the selection on a line through Gurkha Brave and can't be ignored but the others have some improving to do.
