Jeremiah Johnson^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dow| OR: 49| BF

10/3

Forecasts

Harbour Project (2/1), Jeremiah Johnson (10/3), Carmela Soprano (4/1), Miss Elsa (7/1), Rivas Rob Roy (9/1), London (14/1), Broughtons Compass (16/1), Butcherofstockholm (33/1), Waltons Grove (40/1), Faline (66/1), Santorini Sal (80/1), Loving Pearl (80/1)

HARBOUR PROJECT arrives at the top of his game and, although he was collared late (idled) here last month, he's worth a chance to set the record straight and get off the mark back down in trip. Carmela Soprano is an obvious danger arriving on the back of a victory at Chelmsford, and Jeremiah has been running consistently well lately so he also warrants respect.
