This is less competitive than the earlier division and HARBOUR FORCE looks worth another chance. He faded in the closing stages at Market Rasen in July only six days after winning over track and trip and much better is expected on his return from a short break with most of today’s opposition struggling. Apache Creek may finish closer on the back of a recent outing at Newton Abbot but Karamoko failed to complete on his reappearance while Nye Bevan has more scope than most.
