HARBOUR VISION is due to be raised 2lb for last week’s short-head defeat over track and trip and an apprentice’s 5lb allowance further helps his cause. Crack Regiment has tumbled down the weights and went close at Kempton but Wiseacre and Flying Secret have yet to win a race and the maiden winner Masterclass is upped in trip. Cubanista won on soft going here last summer but is out of sorts and gets a change of headgear.
