FARLOW ran well on his return to action at Doncaster in this grade. Beaten less than a length, he can confirm running with stablemate Withernsea, Jamican Bolt, Barkston Ash and Cosmic Chatter and has the beating of Grissom on collateral form. Arctic Feeling is another Fahey runner but 6lb higher than his win at York in October while Catterick winner Polski Max is upped in class off a higher mark on his reappearance and Duke Cosimo is preferred on his win at Ripon in August. My Name Is Rio ended last year with a second at Haydock and will appreciate any cut in the ground.
