This looks more competitive than the classified event at Yarmouth won by Comporta recently while Don't Cry About It finished runner-up in a weak handicap at Redcar last time. Harbour Approach has only his second start for a new yard having placed over 7f at Leicester and has every chance if staying the extra distance but MISTER MAESTRO makes most appeal. The Hannon charge will be sharper for a comeback run at Ripon and first-time headgear is applied as he drops in class. The Throstles began handicapping off an 8lb higher mark last year and may prove best of the rest.
