HARWOODS STAR is getting closer and was beaten less than a length when third over track and trip last time. He finished ahead of Boots And Spurs on that occasion and was in front of Vroom here before that and John Butler’s charge looks to have strong claims on that form. Call Out Loud won over 6f at the track in between his more usual modest efforts but course winner Spowarticus has plenty to prove over 7f on his previous evidence. Ebbisham won over a mile at Kempton back in November and sports headgear for the first time on his Fibresand debut.
