Verdict

Harvest Day is penalised for winning in soft going at Musselburgh though is versatile as regards the ground and can go well again. But GLOBAL HUMOR won a more competitive contest over track and trip a fortnight ago to record a double and gets the vote raised only 3lb. Aliento won at Catterick when last in action in September while Poet's Magic went close at Wolverhampton on last month’s reappearance though has yet to win on Turf in 15 attempts.
