BIT HARSH had been going the right way prior to having his stamina stretched by the 3f longer trip at Lingfield last time, so he’s well worth the chance to resume his progress back down in distance. Brave Knight produced a career best when runner-up at Sandown on his most recent outing and may do better still, with Percy Jones another to consider stepping back up in trip
