Formscan  - DANCING HARRY has shaped with promise on his last couple of starts over timber, including when runner-up to Rubaud here in November, and an opening mark of 97 appears likely to underestimate him, especially based on what he achieved on the level. Sister Saint is a well-related type who is capable of improving, while Irish import Hillsin is worth a second look now starting out on these shores.
