Verdict
Just Beware can never be ignored on her favourite track and was only beaten a length over C&D off this mark on her latest start. Ragdolianna appears to be improving over timber but Tri Nations was already struggling when unseating his rider at Towcester last time. Sacrilege ran his best race for a while at Newbury last month and both Screaming Brave and Peaceful Means would have claims on their best form. But FARLEIGH HOUSE has dropped to a very fair mark and could easily bounce back to winning ways, despite some recent modest efforts. The consistent The Bishops Baby can chase him home.
