Harlestone Times and John Biscuit were both useful performers on the Flat a couple of years ago. But both have their first run for a new yard having been off the track for a while. Worcester scorer CHESTERFIELD was surprisingly beaten by Satanic Beat at Market Rasen in August but the winner went on to beat another subsequent winner at Kelso so the form in better than at looked at the time. John Ferguson's charge should get back to winning ways here, though won't be much of a price.
