Verdict
Farm The Rock posted a better effort when second at Wincanton last time and can race off the same mark today. SHANTY TOWN has been raised 2lb after suffering a neck defeat at Warwick but has tumbled down the weights this year and David Dennis’ charge is taken to go one better in this. Hepijeu has been creeping closer and may well reverse earlier running at Huntingdon with That's The Deal but Barton Rose has struggled since winning at Uttoxeter in September.
