Cox’s sprinter Harry Three can live up to name at Southwell

Harry Three can take the next step on his rise up the sprinting ladder by taking his 100 per cent record to three at Southwell. Clive Cox-trained threeyear-old has already created a good impression with two wins at Kempton at October and November.

Having sprung a little surprise at odds of 12-1 first time out, his reputation preceded him when he returned to the sun bury venue six weeks later as he was sent off the 1-8 favourite. He did not let his supporters down, coming home a length and a quarter clear of the field with the minimum of fuss. A half-brother to the stable's smart Diligent Harry, Harry Three looks to have a big future himself and the Play Coral Racing-super-series For Free Handicap is the next stage in his education.

Lammas can back up his success over this extended mile on New Year's Day to land the Mansion bet Beaten By A Head Handicap. David Loughnane's five-year-old made light of a 145- day absence to score by two and a half lengths from hector' s Here. A 4lb rise seems pretty lenient.

Wonderwall can fulfil the promise of his first run over timber with victory in the Bet ting better with sky bet maiden Hurdle at Doncaster. The Richard Spencer-trained six-yearold looked like obliging when he approached the final flight in front at Newbury, but he made a mess of it, allowing Pull Again Green to gain the initiative and score by two and a half lengths.

Wonderwall did not give up the ghost, but the game was up on that occasion. nevertheless it was a good first attempt and one that augurs well for the future.

The Yeats gelding was a smart bumper horse last season, winning on his debut and finishing seventh in the Cheltenham's champion bumper. He can make his mark over hurdles.

Champagne super over is expected to open his account over fences in the Sky Bet Novices' Limited Handicap Chase after a decent performance at Exeter. the six-year-old, trained by Olly Murphy, was only two and a quarter lengths third behind Gladiateur Allen and Elixir De Nutz. That was a big step upon his first run over fence sat Carlisle and there should be more to come.

Kissesforkatie looks the best bet of the afternoon at Exeter.

Jeremy Scott's mare was a pretty useful bumper performer a few years agoa nd has developed into decent sort over jumps. after a year off the track, Kissesforkatie can be forgiven for not being very competitive on her first two starts back. She raised her game in style when bolting up over this course and distance on New Year's Day. A 7 lb hike is unlikely to be enough to stop her following up.
