Verdict

WRONG WAY HARRY was given plenty to do when running on late behind the gambled-on Vee Dancer and reopposing Cheng Gong, both of whom have franked the form. In different circumstances, he can open his account over hurdles. Cheng Gong should be involved again along with Sidewaysinmilan, who, as a former Irish point runner-up, should relish this stiffer test.
