In depth
Verdict
Another very trappy looking event and Farleigh House is given a narrow vote ahead of Bid For Glory and The Illies. The selection was behind Bid For Glory when they met at Newmarket last month in the race won by Artimino. Farleigh House has a four pound pull in the weights for a two length defeat and so it should be very close between them, but we just prefer the Mark Tompkins runner this afternoon. The Illies also has a form line with the selection having finished just half a length behind him when they met at headquarters. The Barry Hills trained colt should come on for the run and has be consisderd a real danger. Lady Gloria has been in great form and is another possible and so in what is a punters nightmare Farleigh House is the tentative choice.
