Well, hello there Harry (stranger).
I was at Cheltenham on Saturday and I have to say, I had heard plenty about Diamond Harry since I have been away and I was very disappointed if I'm honest. He looked like a horse that the RSPCA might want to look at in the paddock...... very, very light and looked as fit as greyhound. Nick Williams might have made a HUGE mistake in preparing him for this, I think he has plenty of work on his hands to keep him in top nick for the festival.
I'm also concerned at the way he lugged left and at one point he looked like he might run out.
He only just got the better on Bensalem, and by all accounts and word of mouth at the track and at the sales last night, Alan King was delighted because he has something beginning with K that makes that Bensalem look like a moderate handicapper. I've not looked for this horse yet, but supposedly very, very good.
I hate to say it, but I will be laying Diamond Harry at a short price at the festival.
