Formscan - Harper Valley has won off a higher mark in the past and showed signs of a resurgence when third at Uttoxeter. Monaco Rules remains unexposed off his current mark and could shape well in this lower grade, but AVALON BEACH also has plenty of scope. Chris Grant's inmate opened his account over timber with a markedly improved effort over 2m1f here and should go close returning to this longer trip for his handicap debut.
