HARROGATE FAIR was beaten only a nose over track and trip last time. He finished ahead of Temple Road and Desert Strike and may go one better today - though the latter is not easily dismissed either off his current mark. Novellen Lad also went close here on his latest start but Tychaios never got on terms with the winner when runner-up at Kempton earlier in the week. Suitsus finally got off the mark in a maiden race over track and trip but faces a stiffer task in this.
