Uptown Harry
7/1
PASSING PLEASURE made it 2-2 for this yard with a pretty decisive chase debut success at Catterick and, with further progress likely now faced with a stiffer test, he will prove hard to beat. If able to bounce back from a poor last-time-out performance Cowboy Cooper may emerge as the main danger ahead of in-form veteran Uptown Harry.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Uptown Harry might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as Passing Pleasure usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Cosmic Blizzard traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Joie More traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts.
