Verdict

HARBOUR LAW got off the mark at the first time of asking for Laura Mongan over 1m4f at Salisbury. The way he finished that day suggests this longer trip won’t be a problem and, despite a restrictive-looking mark, he has the scope to do even better. Argyle is probably the danger on his second at Windsor as he holds October Storm, though he could struggle for stamina. Recognition is on a hat-trick but he is 0-5 on Turf with both wins having come on the all-weather against modest opposition. Rasasee makes his debut on Turf but City Of Ideas was third at Bath on his reappearance and could appreciate the big step up in distance.
