Verdict
MOTTY'S GIFT does not seem to be fazed by fast ground and it could be worth giving the Walter Swinburn charge another chance, especially as he finished second on his most recent outing at the course. Eye Of Eternity has a low draw to work from though punters will need to forgive a lamentable run at Yarmouth. Lady Of Garmoran continues to go up the weights despite filling the minor berths. Farmers Dream has had a couple of modest of runs at Bath though has to be noted in the market on a first run at Brighton.
