Mars Harper
Left Gordon Elliott after disappointing hurdle run last autumn; well beaten again on stable debut in March but, after wind surgery, he returned to chasing with a good second at Fakenham (3m, good) 19 days ago; has possibilities if he can build on that but his last win was in 2023.

From the connections
“This was probably the race I should have gone for in the first place but Mars Harper came out of Tuesday's race well - Gordon Elliott, trainer.”
“Mars Harper did it nicely. He had a good look when he got to the front but he won well. He got a nice run through. He has plenty of ability and I was only keeping him up to it. I still had plenty of horse from the back of the last and was always holding the second - Luke Dempsey, rider.”
