HARSWELL DUKE has his ground once again having won over course and distance before going in again at Leicester earlier in the week with the re-opposing Intercessor back in third. Roger Fell’s charge can defy a penalty in this. There was some cut in the ground when Cisco Disco won at Pontefract but it was fast going when Ermin Street placed at Goodwood back in June. Metabolt remains unexposed and may figure if coping with the underfoot conditions.
