It was no surprise to see According To Harry make a winning start over fences at Ffos Las as he's bred for chasing. He's only been raised 4lb for that and there should be more to come but BENZEL will also do well over the larger obstacles based on his second here in April to Brownville and can open his account today. Patsys Castle will strip fitter for his third at Southwell and a market move for the returning Master Dee could be interesting but Wicked Spice has become disappointing and Vaillant Creek and Weyburn may need today's experience.
