Harb¹⁷

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 5¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Coolagh Magic in handicap at this C&D (AW, 13/2) 17 days ago. Others more appealing.

Form: 721-436

6/1

C&D winner. Thirty runs since last win in 2022. 4/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 26 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 3523-25

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: C Allen| OR: 64| CD

15/2

7-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Coolagh Magic in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 17 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 6337-14

Unavailable^p,t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 55| CD

12/1

Won for third time at this course (6f) in December. Below best behind Coolagh Magic over C&D since but tongue strap (used successfully on previous start) is now back on and she remains fairly treated.

Forecasts

Ecclesiastical (7/4), Coolagh Magic (5/2), Recon Mission (6/1), Mick's Spirit (15/2), Harb (8/1), The Defiant (8/1), Unavailable (12/1), Zola Power (40/1)

Preference is for the pacey UNAVAILABLE, who has bagged the plum draw against the rail and will benefit from the reapplication of a tongue strap. Ecclesiastical and Coolagh Magic are feared most.
