Harlequin Rose pounced late to score at Brighton last week but has a penalty to carry. NINETY YEARS YOUNG (NAP) led until inside the final furlong at Pontefract 12 days ago and it's not hard to imagine that he would be suited by this sharper track. David Elsworth doesn't send many this far north and the Paco Boy colt should take all the beating. Tim Easterby's pair Dreamorchid and Silver Gleam are both likely improvers now going handicapping, though the drop in trip would be a concern for the latter. Equity has been thereabouts lately but has rarely looked like winning and Queen Celeste now has a bit to prove.
