HARVEY appeared to be in good form at Henry de Bromhead’s last week. He didn’t look very fit, he looked a bit scratchy in his slower paces, and he is not overly big, but there is no denying his effectiveness.

He does, admittedly, jump like a hairy goat, but his trainer reports him to be in top form and all set to travel with Monalee this weekend. He loves it at Cheltenham, and you know that Cheltenham Festival form will be key this week. (Goats for courses.)
