Though a winner on fast ground at Bath last year, Impulsive One has now been beaten three times off this mark. Nottingham scorer Myristica couldn’t cope with a 6lb rise at Pontefract so the two maidens may end up fighting out the finish. Harlem Soul will likely make the running and FIGHT FOR IT could be the one pouncing late getting a couple of pounds from the Johnston runner.
