The last time I'm Harry won was over slightly further at Lingfield from exactly the same mark and he has a course and distance victory to his credit. Dakota City's only success came in a lower grade handicap last summer and he's 8lb higher while it's hard to know what to make of Altaira, purchased for 15,000 euros after landing a minor race in France in September. KARNAGE (NAP) has only had six runs and has come close to losing his maiden tag the last twice. He was caught right on the line over slightly shorter here last month and with further progress likely can make amends. The former Irish-trained Bamako Du Chatelet has only raced four times and shown some potential so could be on a lenient mark.
