HEADS OR HARPS again shaped with abundant promise when runner-up at Wetherby 10 days ago, tanking through the race before losing vital momentum when meeting the last wrong. He's very much of interest dropped in trip and can gain deserved compensation here. Tommy Combats and Dance Thief may pose the lead threats.
