The versatile Harik could be the one to be with here. He holds his form well and may have most to fear from Bit Of A Snob, who is well in with the selection compared to their meeting here last year, when he beat Harik a length in receipt of 6lbs and he is getting 15lbs here. He has been out of sorts recently, but it would be no surprise to see him return to form on his favoured fast ground.
