Verdict
MAN OF HARLECH was beaten only two lengths in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September and a similar effort should see him get the better of Aleator. The latter has strong claims on his third to Mindurownbusiness, who won again at Chelmsford on Monday, however. Windsor winner Mythical Madness returns from a lay-off while Stencive finished last on his first start since 2013, though is a smart handicapper at his best. Both Swing Easy and Giantstepsahead were well below par on their latest starts and may struggle again in this grade.
