Whispering Harry has the beating of Pagham Belle and Camptown Lady on his second to Withy Mills at Taunton last month but CAPPIELOW PARK looks the one to beat. Fleur Hawes' five-year-old came up against a progressive novice in Yorkist at Market Rasen last time having shown improved form when second at Fakenham earlier. Mikey Ennis' claim is a big positive on today's going. Few of the others arrive in any kind of form so the returning Marleno may run into a place on his first start for more than a year as he doesn't look badly treated on his best efforts.
