Formscan - FAT HARRY, a winner at Sedgefield in November before landing a similar event over C&D winner on his penultimate start, was narrowly denied registering a hat-trick by an in-form rival at Haydock most recently. Well clear of the rest in that race, a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to anchor the improving chaser at this stage of his development. His stablemate, top-weight Glen Road, gives the Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith team a good chance of domination here. Moon Phases and Powerofjet complete the shortlist.
