Harbour Vision is raised in class on the back of winning at Chelmsford while Oneovdem also faces a tougher task after scoring at Wolverhampton. Glory of Paris went close at the latter track recently but has been raised a further 3lb and Scofflaw is preferred on his close-up third over track and trip. MERCHANT OF VENICE (NAP) won a maiden here before defying a penalty to win again in novice company at Newcastle. Further progress looks likely now handicapping and James Fanshawe’s charge gets the vote to continue winning ways with Margie's Choice preferred to Mont Kinabalu of the remaining pair.
