A couple of these are penalised for winning over course and distance. Lakota Warrior beat three rivals when scoring last month but HARBOUR LAKE had a subsequent dual winner back in third when making a winning debut and Alan King’s charge is taken to go in again. Rory And Me should be sharper for placing at Newcastle recently while Ritson may improve having undergone wind surgery.
