Verdict
Far Gone ran a blinder on her debut and can land this at the expense of Rebel Aclaim and Lady Sandcliffe. The selection caught the eye when second to Loch Jipp at Pontefract over a similar trip. She ran a little green that day and is entitled to improve and if doing so will take the beating. Rebel Aclaim was another not to get beaten far on her debut when finishing second over course and distance. The market will play a big hand to how she will fair. The same can be said about Lady Sandcliffe who has her first run. Barry Hills generally has his team of horses ready to win first time of asking so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Far Gone.
