16 race maiden has disappointed in two starts since returning from a spell hurdling. Has run well off higher marks in the past however and market support would be notable.

Forecasts

Harry Speed (9/2), Fair Game (6/1), Footsteps At Dawn (7/1), Procurator (8/1), Althib (8/1), Confident Kid (9/1), Piper Bomb (10/1), Silver The Fixer (12/1), Mr Whoppit (14/1), Moneebb (14/1), Kodianne (16/1), Make A Story (20/1), Jo Binney (20/1), Delegating (25/1), Here In The Dark (25/1), Its Harrys Girl (25/1), Baile An Roba (25/1), Haunting Vocals (33/1)

HARRY SPEED showed good form when placed last time out and he can register a victory in this competitive looking handicap. The selection looks capable of seeing off his rivals with Procurator, who has run well off higher marks in the past taken to finish runner-up ahead of Fair Game who is another who is well handicapped on her old form.
