We said3rd of 9, beaten ¼ at 7/2
HIGHLAND HARVEY 4/1
BOSTON RUN is the only confirmed front-runner, and he is not our selection, though an uncontested lead counts for less here than it does elsewhere.
HIGHLAND HARVEY at 4/1, Gihan Arnolda and Ray Dawson, gets the vote. He was only just denied off a similar mark, beaten 0.3L off 52 on 1 September and was staying on at the finish last time.
The dangers are BOSTON RUN at 10/3 (a course winner) and PABLO PRINCE at 20/1 (a course winner).
