In depth

Verdict

Lucky Beggar won on soft ground at Thirsk last month and the veteran has been raised 7lb. HARROGATE is preferred as he also won in testing ground over track and trip earlier but is equally as effective on today’s surface and this looks a weak contest. Thrilla In Manila is upped in class and James Watt is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
