On his old form the experienced H Harrison is well handicapped but he's not shown anything like that recently so instead we turn to NUFOUDH with Sands Of Barra also considered. Still a maiden after 31 starts the selection has been as running as well has he has in his last two efforts. Both have ended in place prizes but the form has worked out well and he looks the percentage call. H Harrison once won off a mark of 80 but his form has tailed off ever since and was beaten when ranked at 57 last time out. That run to grab a runners-up spot, though, was his best for some time and the form looks strong for this level so it is feasible he can challenge. Sands Of Barra wasn¿t far beaten by the selection last time out and should be closer again with a slight change of terms in his favour. Bold Indian ran well at this level last time so is another who could go find a prize but in a very poor contest Nufoudh looks strongest.
