Harvis might just be worth taking a chance with in a decent event. His jumping can sometimes let him down but a sixth at Aintree last augured well for him and the step up in trip should suit. He has most to fear from the two course and distance winners, Dorans Gold and Quality First. They are both a fraction higher than their best winning marks but are still capable of being competitive. Decent French import Javelot d'Or, a stablemate of the selection, has clearly had his problems. Arctic Fancy has also had problems but can't be ruled out at his best.
