An ultra-competitive handicap with BEAT THE BAT receiving the tentative vote. Harry Fry's 7-y-o shaped well when fourth of 26 in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival, leaving the impression he'll stay further still, so he makes a fair amount of appeal now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Karl des Tourelles, Chart Topper and Jeriko du Reponet are just a trio of potential threats.
