Forecasts

Colonel Harry (5/4), Trelawne (13/8), Meetingofthewaters (9/2), Chasing Fire (13/2), The King Of Ryhope (17/2), Hurricane Highway (16/1)

Verdict

COLONEL HARRY was doing all his best work at the finish when runner-up in the Henry VIII at Sandown and, with improvement anticipated now faced with a stiffer test, he looks the way to go. It was a decent novice in which Trelawne was third at Cheltenham last month and he is second choice.

  1. COLONEL HARRY (IRE)
  2. TRELAWNE
  3. THE KING OF RYHOPE
