Harrogate was a winner in a higher grade at Ripon in May and is only 2lb higher. He holds Refuge on their run together at Nottingham last month but a short break may have benefited MOKAMAN, who wasn’t beaten far in a higher grade at Ripon last month having won earlier at Catterick. The Gloaming won over track and trip in May but was well behind Rory at Ayr earlier this month.
