Harlem Nights has yet to place on Turf but did win at Wolverhampton in April with Buy The Dip coming out on top in a Class 6 on Polytrack earlier this month. CANCAN IN THE RAIN hasn't been beaten far in either start this year and won on fast going at Yarmouth last season so, with the ground still drying out, he looks the one to be on here ahead of the luckless Edge Of Ember, who shoulders top weight making his handicap debut. Forest Demon may need to drop a few pounds before getting his head back in front.
