Get It On has been in good form in novice events and further progress looks likely now handicapping for the first time while Gold Reef scored under today's young rider at Sandown last time and he should be in the shake-up. A winner over 2m1f, Paint The Clouds has something to prove over today's distance, however, so the vote goes to RED HARBOUR. Paul Nicholls' charge faded out of contention on his reappearance but won a Grade 3 event at Sandown back in March and could be the one to beat if reproducing his best form here.
