With this being a hands and heels race it may pay to side with FLY HOME HARRY who adapted well to forcing tactics for this yard last season. His handicap mark is attractive and he appeared to be coming to hand last time. Mistress Massini has a good record in point-to-points but she has looked more moderate on her latest starts under rules and Agent Memphis may be a bigger threat. The mare produced an improved effort last time but she was hard ridden to get as close as she did and a hands and heels race may not be the right event for her. Follow The Swallow would have gained an overdue win last time but a 9lb rise accounts for that and he has more on his plate here.
- Fly Home Harry
- Agent Memphis
- Follow The Swallow
