HARVEY was an eyecatcher at Kempton earlier in the month and this former French turf winner is given a chance to build on that promise now back on the grass. The reappearing Say What You See is 2 lb out of the handicap but did little but improve last season so could still be a major threat. Atherstone Warrior is another who progressed well through his 3-y-o campaign, while dual all-weather winner Port of London could also have a say if proving as effective back on turf. |
