In depth
Verdict
FARMERS DREAM had Babich Bay and Lennoxwood behind when finishing strongly into third behind Cape Kimberley over C&D on Monday. That followed on from a close-up fourth at Kempton and Richard Price's four-year-old can open his account in this ordinary handicap. A return to this trip will suit C&D winner Dancing Welcome, who got outpaced over 6f here earlier in the week but still finished ahead of Avon Light and Northern Genes, while Ellies Image was only beaten a neck off this mark at Carlisle after winning at Doncaster and can't be ignored. Sienna Blue and Wednesday's Bath second Trade Centre may be the pick of the remainder.
