Verdict
FARID has an excellent pedigree for jumping so his bumper victory in France was a bonus and he appears to have been found a good opportunity to make a successful debut over timber. Lethal Steps isn't bred for the winter game but had some smart form on the Flat and wouldn't be with Gordon Elliott unless thought capable of jumping. Here In The Dark hasn't been beaten far in either start over timber though may do better on softer ground but Quantatmental won on fast going on the level and looks the type to make a hurdler. He had Sicario behind at Wolverhampton in October while Carol's Return arrives in winning form having easily won a 1m4f handicap on soft ground at Galway the same month.
