Verdict
I'm Harry keeps finding at least one too good off his current mark and it was the same old story when runner-up at Lingfield last time. Lady Lunchalot is another usually thereabouts without winning so a chance is taken on VISERION in this. David Simcock’s charge was not beaten far at Leicester last time despite finishing only fifth and should make a bold bid with a repeat effort. Glasgow Central bids for a hat-trick under a penalty having won a couple of lower grade handicaps but Harlestone Hopes makes more appeal on his latest second over 1m4f off today’s mark.
