Race preview
HARRYS HOPE made an impressive chasing debut when scoring by seven lengths at Southwell last week and is very hard to ignore turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Topweight Sherborne has more experience in this discipline and is the chief threat to the selection. Previous course winner Begin The Luck is also forwarded as a key player in this company. Goaheadwiththeplan also needs considering.
