Hong Kong Harry¹⁴

1/1

Made it 3 wins from 4 starts when seeing off 3 rivals over C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Likely more to come and just a 2 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent him going in m pr

Forecasts

Hong Kong Harry (1/1), Chookie Dunedin (3/1), Muntadab (6/1), Be Proud (15/2), Gallipoli (12/1), Gweedore (14/1), Spartan Fighter (18/1), Hajjam (22/1), Three Saints Bay (40/1)

HONG KONG HARRY has gone up only 2 lb for last month's C&D defeat of Be Proud and can take his career tally to an impressive 4-5. Chookie Dunedin arrives at the top of his game and could be the one to give Richard Fahey's charge most to think about.
