Fly Home Harry is upped 5lb for winning at Ludlow where he beat RUNNING WOLF a length. But the latter was having his first start since June and Alex Hales’ charge may well turn the tables with that outing under his belt. Red Square Revival is another to consider after winning at Plumpton on only his fourth start over fences while Agreement has slipped down the weights and posted a better effort when second at Stratford. Charlie Mon also finished runner-up last time but was still beaten long way and Trojan Star is preferred.
