      Verdict

      Man Of Harlech was ending a long losing run when scoring at Lingfield in May and could go well again now he’s got his head back in front. But this is easier than the recent tasks of AQUARIUM (NAP) and Mark Johnston’s three-year-old is taken to record his first success on Turf racing off a 7lb lower mark back on this surface. Corazon Espinado also has a shout dropping back down in class and distance having won over track and trip in April and is preferred to Pastoral Player and Qeyaadah.
