Formscan - HARTHILL looks to have been found a really winnable opening here and it will be disappointing if she's not bang there at the business end following an improved second at Wincanton. She's in against her own sex again and gets a confident vote. Sweet Serene is 4lb out of the handicap but did show a bit more at Southwell last time, while Kantagua Du Large has won over fences in France.
