Verdict
WORTHY FARM never looked happy at Cheltenham last time and was a spent force approaching the last. He has ground to make up on Lygon Rock on that run but a return to a flatter track will suit the front-runner, who is taken to recoup losses. Trixster keeps improving and Tim Vaughan puts up a 7lb claimer to offset his big weight, though also runs the unexposed Modern Warfair. Daydream Aulmes keeps finding but this longer trip may catch out Graeme McPherson’s six-year-old and Plumpton winner Potters Hedger found little off the bridle last time at Huntingdon. Looks Like Power ran well at Chepstow, where he finished ahead of the consistent Another Emotion and Jeannot De Nonant, so looks the pick of the remainder.
