Harvest Day recently scored at Thirsk though is 6lb higher than when winning over track and trip at the start of the year. Blindingly finished well ahead of Lucky Lodge when successful here last month but could only manage third off today’s higher mark at Ripon four days ago. Ower Fly has failed to improve for wind surgery and looks no nearer winning but TADAAWOL is back on a winning mark and after placing at Redcar on his latest start, Roger Fell’s charge is expected to make a bold bid back on this surface.
