House Of Cards finished in front of Brendan when third over track and trip last week and can figure while Jessie Allan remains 8lb higher than when scoring here last month and has subsequently finished behind fourth-placed Star Cracker back at the track a week ago. The latter was earlier beaten here by Naples Bay, who sports first-time headgear today, but REVENGE makes most appeal on his recent efforts especially a second over today’s trip at Thirsk and Tim Easterby’s charge gets the nod.
