Verdict

HARVARD GUY is improving at a rate of knots, defying a 10 lb hike in the weights as he took his record to 2-2 in C&D handicaps 5 weeks ago. Open to further progress on that evidence, he earns the vote to complete the hat-trick, with Fortunedefortunata, Lord Erskine and Catch The Beast heading up the dangers.

  1. HARVARD GUY
  2. FORTUNEDEFORTUNATA (IRE)
  3. LORD ERSKINE (IRE)
