Ten Carat Harry

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Jamie Osborne

Developed into a useful performer on AW this winter, reeling off a five-timer (6f) prior to a good third in Listed company (7f); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts and too soon to pigeonhole him as an AW specialist given his two turf runs were on soft ground and early in his career; likely vulnerable off topweight all the same.

Five-race winning spree came to an end when third in Lingfield Listed race (7f, Polytrack) in February and again filled that position in valuable event at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) one week ago; that run can be upgraded (had no cover from a fairly strong wind) and he must be considered with fitness assured.
