James Reveley partners recent C&D third Harvey's Hope in preference to Southwell specialist Robbie and the former can come out best of his stable's two runners. Meetings Man was second at Wetherby last month but Fiendish Flame and Crafty Roberto haven't shown much this term, though the top weight would have a chance on his best form if allowed an uncontested lead. INGLEBY SPIRIT only beat one home on his reappearance but that was his first run since April so was probably needed. He may have too much pace for these on this ground. Ulys Du Charmil won at Market Rasen in the spring but has been absent since and needs to improve on his overall form to land this while Simply Ned disappointed at Musselburgh last time.
