A winner here in March, the consistent KARAKORAM (NAP) was also third over 2m here last month. Just beaten over this trip at Taunton in the spring, Grace Harris’ charge still looks to be on a decent mark. Sami Bear was in good form at Plumpton in the spring and it will be interesting to see how he copes with a change of venue. Benandgone weakened quickly at Stratford last month but should strip fitter here and Heron Creek was a course and distance winner as recently as April. Voodoo Doll has each-way claims.
