HARARE scored over C&D with a below par Harrys Yer Man behind before following up at Ayr last time. The veteran is up another 4lb but arrives in much better form than the opposition and can go in again. Kyle Of Bute is on a winning mark if back to his best after a poor effort at Beverley and Secret Era wasn't beaten that far at this track despite finishing seventh. Celtic Step was defeated by a narrow margin over track and trip in October and soft ground was a valid excuse for failing to figure on his reappearance.
