A low-grade competitive handicap but JEFFREY HARRIS has suddenly found his form. Jim Goldie’s charge signalled an imminent victory when runner-up over this trip at Musselburgh then won comfortably over 6f here. He may just have the edge on The Grey Zebedee, a winner at Catterick and beaten a short-head here but unsuited by heavy ground last time. Carlovian is 1-19 on the all-weather and better on Turf while Vallarta, nine times a winner on Turf, has only won once on the all-weather. Moonlit Sands has run moderately in her two starts on this track.
