Andrew Balding’s yard won this last year and OLD HARROVIAN (NAP) may well defy a penalty having returned a convincing winner over today’s trip at Lingfield a week ago. Active Duty has been hurdling since joining his current yard having placed at Gowran when last seen on the Flat while Wild Hurricane placed over track and trip on his debut in November and has every chance. Stepmother and Lumberjack debut for new yards on their return to action.
