HARPER'S FERRY ended his 3-y-o campaign on a high at Doncaster and, with the promise of more to come from the son of Lope de Vega this season, he may well prove equal to this task, despite now finding himself on a 7 lb higher mark and in a stronger race. Skukuza's wellbeing has to be taken on trust following the best part of a year off but he did nothing wrong in 2024 and remains of interest, while Tribal Chief, who is taken to reverse November's C&D placings with Bullet Point, also has claims.
