HARMONIC WAVE failed to win last year but slipped down the weights as a consequence. She’s been in better form so far this year with a couple of good efforts at Wolverhampton and gets the nod in this. An extended 5f is the furthest Windforpower has won over so far and he was placed over the minimum trip here last time while First Excel’s second at Nottingham came back in August. Spirit of Zebedee was not beaten that far when fifth here last time and won off today's mark at Catterick last year but Letbygonesbeicons still looks a shade high in the weights.
