Verdict

Harry Fry's string are in good form at present (5/16) and his representative here BEHIND TIME, a winner at Uttoxeter last time out can register his second victory over fences in this valuable contest. The trip and ground should both suit the son of Stowaway and he can take this with Potters Legend, another to hail from an in form stable can finish runner-up. The drop in trip is in Delusionsofgrandeur's favour and he is taken to finish third today.
  1. Behind Time
  2. Potters Legend
