Howzak makes a quick reappearance having landed a double when scoring at Lingfield a couple of days ago with Morty back in third. But he’s upped in trip today carrying a double penalty and NO SUCH LUCK is preferred. The latter needs to reverse latest running over track and trip with the runner-up Irish Times but showed a big improvement on that handicap debut and further progress looks likely. Bernard Spierpoint had the measure of Brazen Arrow when second here last month.
