Verdict
HORSFORTH landed a double earlier and has was third over track and trip on her latest start when ahead of Searanger and Storm Trooper. She should be in the firing-line again along with recent Wolverhampton runner-up Lady Nayef. Intense Starlet won twice over course and distance in September while Noah Amor won at Beverley in July and is 7lb higher on his return from a lay-off. Harmonic Wave continues to slide down the weights and was ahead of Roaring Rory at Wolverhampton last time.
