High Gear can be another winner for the Jackdaws Castle Team and can land this at the expense of Rash Moment and Here Comes Harry. The selection is not the most straight forward of individuals and could be classed as quirky but he has the ability to win races when in the right frame of mind. His latest second to Wayward Melody at Newton Abbot was a fair effort and if able to repeat that performance then he has to be a horse to stay on the right side of. Rash Moment will pose as the biggest danger and was in winning form over course and distance on his penultimate start. He was not disgraced in defeat at Newton Abbot last time out when fourth behind Waynesworld so any market moves should be noted. Here Comes Harry was in winning form at Uttoxeter before putting in a disappointing performance at Newton Abbot last time out. The handicapper may well have got the better of him right now so is to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to High Gear.
