Dapper Man won this in 2018 and scored again here last month. He’s run well in both starts since but it was soft going when YOLO AGAIN was beaten only a head at Thirsk last week and she’s handicapped to get her head back in front on only her second outing for new connections. Moonraker won at Southwell recently and can race off a 7lb lower mark today looking to end a long losing run on this surface while Harrogate has been in the mix on fast ground at Catterick lately.
