Formscan  - After wins at Haydock and Carlisle, Haarar was backed as if defeat was out of the question under a penalty at Catterick but never looked like justifying the support and was beaten a long way out. He's been given longer to get over the run, but this represents a step back up in class and THE HATCHET is preferred. Open to more improvement, this low-mileage six-year-old has the scope to build on a very promising C&D second last month. Fingal's Hill and Bucephalus complete the shortlist.
