Harper's Brook has a winner's penalty as he did at Exeter last time when beaten a long way into second. ART OF ILLUSION was caught right on the line when tackling 2m5f at Kempton and is progressing fast enough to go one better, though Glengeever was staying on over 2m3f at Fontwell so should be suited by the extra. Port Lockroy has shown nothing to date.
