BIT HARSH has thrived this winter back on all-weather with cheekpieces applied, completing a hat-trick of handicap wins with success at Wolverhampton, and the 4-y-o can extend his winning run in his current mood. Halic made a winning handicap debut last time and is respected on his first run for a new yard, with Red Flyer completing the shortlist.
