OLD HARROVIAN and Glen Buck dominated a Southwell handicap in January and with both winning next time, they look to be handicappers on the up. The latter won the first clash but the former represents a yard in scintillating form so he just gets the nod this time. Of the others, Smart Hero, a progressive sort, and Penzance, runner-up in this a year ago, are also of interest.
