Harry Fry has been flying this year and he runs MINELLA AWARDS who finished second behind a progressive looking rival last time. He wasn't given a hard time by his jockey when his chance had gone and it's entirely possible he will come on for that run. Tough Kick may not look like the stables first string but if he learns to get his mind on the job there's a good chance he's well-handicapped while Another Venture looked well-handicapped when he won last time and he looks more than capable of scoring again off a mark just 7lb higher.
