Harry Reed's claims helps offset the effect of a penalty on NOVIS ADVENTUS, and he will go very close if in the same form as last time. Sensible Friend is gradually improving, and will get involved with a repeat of his latest second here, and Sea's Aria is another respected on recent course form, where he had the excuse of losing both front shoes on his latest outing.
