    Verdict

    A small but competitive field goes to post for this claimer but the principals look to be Harry Up; Compton Classic and Earl Compton and the narrow vote is given to Harry Up. The selection was a fair second behind Benllech last time out, that horse has won again since and in this small field which should suit he looks the one to be on. Compton Classic rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Axis Sheild last time out and he is taken on with this in mind. Chatshow is another worthy of respect but he has plenty to find with the selection on official ratings. Earl Compton was a fair second last time out behind Wibbadune but the suspicion is he will be suited by a longer trip and for the winner we return to Harry Up.
