Ffos Las 2:04 Result

Harry's Pop is clearly the class act here on official ratings (75 vs next best 70) and has won his last two starts, form reading 404411 - two wins on the bounce with the figures trending the right way. He's carrying top weight but that's just weight-for-rating, not a penalty beyond what he's earned. Sire Harry Angel has plenty of speed to offer over 6f on soft, and a two-win recent sequence into a small 5-runner nursery suggests the handicapper hasn't yet caught him. Draw 6 in a small field is workable. Jack Mitchell taking the ride for Cunha is a positive booking - a yard that knows how to place these juveniles for a nursery. The rest of the field are much of a muchness on ratings (68-70) with sketchy or unproven profiles - Resemblance was well beaten last time after a big layoff (107 days), Chief Minister's form 958 is unconvincing, Maximus Meridius and Beechwood Glory are workmanlike but capped by their ratings. This looks a fairly straightforward spot for the in-form, highest-rated runner to confirm superiority, and the field is weak enough that a vulnerable favourite scenario doesn't really apply - he's the standout on solid recent form.
