      Verdict

      BIT HARSH landed a double here before scoring at Wolverhampton. The runner-up has subsequently won and Alan King’s charge looks worth sticking with. Bearaway finished behind the selection last time while Halic has switched yards since winning at Lingfield on last month’s handicap debut and Brasca has also changed trainers. Red Flyer will be sharper for a recent fourth at the latter track while Captain Kane has had a spin over hurdles since last seen on the Flat.
