Pretty modest fare and FLY HOME HARRY wouldn't need to improve much on his second at Fontwell to go one better. Running Wolf couldn't cope with a higher mark last time while Seven Kingdoms is turning into an enigma. How About It is also hard to catch right but Some Finish may have benefited from a run at Exeter and better may be expected from Flashjack with Richard Johnson booked.
