HARRY UP has gone close on each of his last two starts and he can make it third time lucky in this claimer; Blue Tomato and Classic Encounter are also considered. The selection was only beaten a short-head when second behind Desperate Dan at Great Leighs last time and if he can pop out and get to the front from his high draw then he can go one better here. Blue Tomato is not as good as he once was but he has a good draw here and he ran well when third behind Brazilian Brush at Great Leighs last time. Classic Encounter hails from a yard in good form and he is eased in grade today, but he was very disappointing last time and he will need to leave that running behind. Coconut Moon and Back In The Red have both got course and distance winning form but they are drawn on the outside and they will need some luck to get competitive. Harry Up has good early pace and he can lead them all the way here.
