A case of quantity over quality here, with HARVARD taken to score at the third time of asking having taken a small step forward from his debut at Gowran when last seen 9 months ago. The second that day has won since and Aidan O'Brien's colt is sure to have his best days ahead. Prairie Dancer, Star Official and Climate rate the most likely threats.
