A market move for Keith Dalgleish's newcomer Glengarry would be interesting but HARAZ has to be the selection on form, even though he's had his chances. David O'Meara's gelding was only beaten a neck over this trip at Wetherby last time, however, and that looks better than Weekend Offender's fourth at Hamilton. Dark Forest is next best, according to official ratings, but he could face a battle for the lead from Kevin Ryan's charge and also Inner Knowing, who is tried in a visor. Ayr third Insurplus could be the biggest danger to the selection as he looked ready for step up in distance next time at Doncaster.
