In depth

Verdict

Richard Fahey has his string in good order at present and Philharmonic can provide him with another winnner; the main dangers look to be One More Round and Harry Up. The selection looks the class horse in the race and the at claiming level he should quite simply be too good for these. He ran a fair race when last seen out and he is a confident choice. One More Round is a force at this level and he was only narrowly beaten over 7f here last time by Onenightinlisbon. He should be the one to profit if the selection fails to fire. Harry Up ran well in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time when a close second behind First Order. However, his best form is over the minimum trip and for that reason we will oppose him today. Philharmonic looks the one to be with here and it will be a surprise if he is not good enough to get his head in front.
