Verdict
Gwladys Street has been raised 11lb for his defeat of the re-opposing Oniz Tiptoes over course and distance in January and Rowan Road is up 12lb despite failing to follow up her Catterick win when runner-up at Ayr. Dusky Bob finished nearer last than first at Wincanton having scored over fences at Musselburgh before that and Polarbrook is proving inconsistent with a close-up third at Carlisle in November his best effort. HARRY THE LEMMON was still in contention when falling at Ayr last time but had chased home the progressive No Deal at the same track earlier and James Ewart's charge gets the speculative vote.
