In depth
Verdict
A triple Godolphin assault with the market likely to indicate if the once-raced Farhh is ready to roll after an absence dating back to the summer of 2010 when demolishing a field of Newmarket maidens. However, he does tote plenty of weight and faces battle-tough opposition. Diverting, seeking a five-timer, is no less than 29lb higher than when launching his winning spree but showed a fine attitude when scoring at Pontefract and merits the utmost respect. ROBEMAKER makes fractionally more appeal, looking a performer on the upgrade and is taken to reverse latest placings with Oriental Scot, a stablemate of Diverting, on recent Haydock running. Dubawi Sound is interesting, being unexposed and likely to enjoy this track more than the idiosyncrasies of Epsom last time.
