James Harding will be looking to extend his lead at the head of this amateur rider series having won a similar event on CUCKOO ROCK at Goodwood last time. He's taken to confirm running with Frosty Berry and go in again. Ebony Express should figure after scoring at Redcar last month and this looks less competitive than the amateur race Hyperlink finished fifth in over track and trip back in August. On Stage is another with claims on his form earlier in the season.
