Verdict

FLY HOME HARRY is a previous course and distance who was in good form around this time last year and his latest fourth at Plumpton suggests he is back on a mark from which he should be winning again. Great Tempo has only raced over fences three times and been placed twice so should have more to offer. Agent Memphis found only one too good on his chasing bow at Warwick but Follow The Swallow is usually worth opposing and Jonagold appears to have gone off the boil. Mistress Massini won three point-to-points last year but returns from a lay-off.
