Dual bumper winner Cole Harden was less than fluent on his hurdling bow at this track and faded into fourth in the closing stages. COURT APPEAL looked unlucky on his first start over timber having fallen after slipping on landing when starting odds-on at Worcester. He gets the vote to make amends today. Dougalstar finished third over timber here back in May while Harry's Farewell has won a bumper at this track and could figure on his return. Westaway's saddle slipped on his comeback but he has a shout on his earlier third at this course.
