Verdict

HARB was a decisive winner of a C&D novice when in the care of Mark Johnston last year and, though winless so far this season, he has taken steps back in the right direction at Windsor and Sandown for his new yard the last twice. The return to 6f should help and he is appealing off a reduced mark. There are dangers aplenty, headed by recent C&D scorer Epic Express and the consistent Thaki. A mention must also be made of Enduring and handicap-debutante Maiden's Green needs a second look, too.
