Harlequin Rose’s last 11 appearances have been on this track so she certainly knows the lay of the land. She’s won twice this year and will probably make a bold bid to defy her penalty but this is quite competitive. Limerick Lord and Cristal Pallas Cat were behind her eight days ago but the former has a chance of revenge on the revised terms. Sharp Operator is 11lb better off than when only beaten a neck by the Chamings’ mare here in July while Kodiline is eased in grade. DUKE OF NORTH can’t get much lower in the weights and gave notice of an imminent victory when second at Epsom when just failing to last home over 1m2f.
