FAT HARRY had solid form in handicap hurdles last season, all the while shaping like a chaser in the making, and he's fancied to make a winning start over fences. Groovy Blue is a chaser on looks and could come into his own now tackling the larger obstacles, while Scots Poet has stamina to prove at this longer trip but remains on a handy mark. Whatyouwaitingfor is another to note making chase/handicap debut for new connections.
