Verdict
Though she’s been lightly raced this term, FARNE placed twice here last season so is worth a second look. Midnight Mary beat a subsequent winner at Wetherby in January and was second over a longer trip here last month. La Domaniale is having a first run since August and was thriving on quicker surfaces last summer. Her yard is also struggling for winners but she did win over hurdles on soft going in France. Haute Estime has become disappointing while Walk In Clover is facing a stiff task at the weights.
