Verdict

MR HARP barely went a yard on his recent chase debut, but this relatively quick turnaround suggests that all is well and he is worth chancing off a reduced mark back in this sphere off a potentially handy mark. In Rem and Colonel Manderson are obvious dangers, particularly the former who has done nothing but progress for his new yard this season and may not have finished improving yet.

  1. MR HARP (IRE)
  2. IN REM (FR)
  3. COLONEL MANDERSON (FR)
