Verdict
KODIAC HARBOUR went close over track and trip in a higher-grade contest last month. A similar effort should see Robyn Brisland’s charge go one better in this lesser company. Classy Dame finished fourth at the same fixture here while Maysong gets a change of headgear and a chance on earlier placed efforts at Chelmsford. How Hard Can It Be has more scope than most and Beowulf has been hurdling without success.
