Verdict

Big field but many here making up numbers and the race drops away very quickly outside the top few. INSAIN HARRY (4) is clearly on top. Dominant maiden winner two back then placed in a richer race last time. Lightly raced but consistent type with Allen aboard and a low draw. Will go close. FIVE STAR KING (7) looks to be working up to a win and can give a sight. Not far away last time and has the claim. Main danger. STEWART (13) hasn't been far away in the three runs since a win. Last start was beaten less than a length on the Sapphire Coast and expected to feature again. RYANMAN (3) is a gelding back from a long spell. Has good speed and with the claim can run a big race fresh. OVER YONDER (1) has had the blinkers added for this and should be doing his best work late.
