Verdict
FARHH has clearly been hard to train but has won on both occasions he's made it to the track. The Godolphin colt won a handicap at Newmarket in fine style in October, hence a 10lb rise, but entries in Group 1 events at Royal Ascot next month suggests there's much more to come. He could prove a cut above these if that's the case and he gets the nod. Both Extraterrestrial and Osteopathic Remedy have won this in recent years and both have won off higher marks than today while Clockmaker is no forlorn hope off his current rating if back to his best. Kiwi Bay had Dubai Dynamo, Kingscroft and Hot Rod Mamma well behind when runner-up over 7f here a fortnight ago and Don't Call Me has to come into the reckoning with Shirley Teasdale's claim taken into account.
