Harbour Highway looks the pick of this ten-runner staying contest at Punchestown, and he is preferred to Secret She Keeps on his fitness edge and progressive profile. Our rating has him 112, just 4 lb behind the top-rated runner, so the gap is small enough for sharpness and an upward curve to bridge over 22 furlongs on good ground. Secret She Keeps is the chief danger as the highest-rated runner on 116, while Aurea Fortuna (107) and Mags Nelson (105) are the others to respect, though both have more to find on our figures. Harbour Highway is the selection.
