Verdict
Master Eddy is 5lb higher than when successful in this 12 months ago and has been chasing lately. Red Mile has become expensive to follow and Morcambe hasn't really progressed but Kasban comes here off the back of a decisive win at Kempton and should go close again. Full Of Joy is capable of a prominent showing, despite top weight, and Dune Shine has been in decent form lately. But the vote goes to HONG KONG HARRY, who will almost certainly be suited by his first try over this trip and is probably open to a little more improvement than most. Equity Release was second over 2m5f at Warwick earlier this month and can also play a part.
