Hartswood chased home in-form stable companion Tele Red in an amateurs’ handicap at York latest and won at Thirsk in the spring, though this evening’s ground may be softer than ideal. It may also be too testing for United Front and Cabinet Of Clowns has never raced on anything softer than good. TITIAN was second in the Spring Mile at Doncaster in April run on heavy ground. He’s won on soft going at that track and arrives off the back of a fair third off this mark at Newmarket. Macs Dilemma and Albegrey could also play a part.
