Verdict
Fard rarely runs over the minimum and all four victories have been over further but he's been setting the pace and is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark. Morty looked one to follow at this sort of level when scoring at Ripon but pulled much too hard at Musselburgh next time. Eight-times winner WILD FLOWER was in top form last summer and is gradually building up to return to the winner's enclosure judging by her recent run at Chepstow. She's been dropped 2lb and Hollie Doyle takes over from an apprentice. Red Stripes is 13-128 on the all-weather but 1-45 on Turf while Glamorous Force finished last at Bath but didn't enjoy the softer ground and is better judged on his two previous runs in much quicker conditions.
