HOWZAT HIRIS can continue his run of good form since fitted with cheekpieces and follow up last month's C&D success. Shesupincourt has headgear added as she bids to end a frustrating sequence of seconds but may have to settle for the runner-up spot again. Nights In Venice and Donald McCain handicap newcomer Nell's Bells also make the shortlist.
