This is a hard one to get the head around, so follow the market is the advice. Classic Harry cots 15,000 guineas so watch the betting, while Huron will have to improve on his debut effort but certainly cannot be ruled out as this level. Tight Corner has been placed in point-to-points and it would be no surprise to see him go well in what seems a modest races. Perfectly Posh is another that makes some appeal but it really is a headscratcher and we are happy to nominate an unnamed favourite.
