Grace Harris has improved Berry De Carjac and he only went down narrowly here last month after winning at Stratford, though has no experience of ground this soft. Coole Cody hasn’t raced since March, however, while Holryale was well beaten when odds-on for a bumper at Bangor in June and makes his hurdling debut. Conditions may also be a problem for VANCOUVER but he was very impressive when beating more experienced rivals at Uttoxeter in May and is probably capable of better.
