Harbour Force hasn’t shown much lately but would be the form pick on his third at Wincanton in the spring. Hats Off To Larry won at Market Rasen back in May but doesn’t have much in hand over New Zealander on the form book. BAGAN, back over hurdles after a couple of runs over fences, will enjoy these quicker conditions more than most and gets the nod with Falberto probably best of the rest.
