Cases can be made for the majority of these. HARTSWOOD was too free in a steadily-run race at York last time and, having hinted at a return to form on his penultimate start at Newcastle, he is taken to strike off a reduced mark down in grade here. Recent C&D winner Engles Rock is feared most, though Tommy G looks dangerous and Harswell Duke is also strongly considered.
