      In depth

      Verdict

      Dolphin Village had tumbled down the weights before ending a long losing run with a course and distance victory. He makes less appeal back up 6lb while Taurian is another recent winner over track and trip but that was in an amateurs race and FARHAM is preferred. The latter has been getting steadily closer and this longer trip should bring further improvement after a third at Chelmsford. Laser Blazer ran well at Wolverhampton back on the Flat last time but Clovelly Bay, Cottesloe and Azilian have all looked high enough in the weights lately.
