It was soft going when HENRY THE FIFTH (NAP) won over course and distance last week. He’s penalised for that success but drops down a grade and can defy a penalty. Harry The Norseman beat the re-opposing Fred Bear over today’s distance at Bath but the latter is fancied to reverse running on more favourable terms. Tinchoo could only manage fourth at the same fixture at Bath.
