Potters Lady Jane is twice a winner here but prefers much quicker ground. Harmonise didn’t run very well over hurdles last month but has won twice on the level this year. LORD HALIFAX is having just his fourth start but he has progressed with each run and he appeared to handle soft going well enough at Windsor. He should have plenty more to offer so gets the nod ahead of recent Nottingham winner Matewan, who will enjoy the conditions, and Westbrook Bertie, who ran well after a long absence earlier this month. Edmond Dantes has been a shade disappointing since winning on soft going at Goodwood in June and Blowing Dixie appears best at Southwell while last month’s course and distance winner Minnelli is untried on the surface.
