In depth
Verdict
Farnborough,Kings Topic and Wanna Shout are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the confident vote is given to Farnborough. The selection won well last time when beating Indian Edge and although he has a penalty for that win he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to win again. Kings Topic rates the main danger on his latest second behind Vizulize, he looks sure to run his race but he is hard to win with and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Wanna Shout won well last time when beating Gallego but he is far from consistent and has been done no favours by the draw so he is over looked here. Of the remainder Summer Bounty and Sewmore Character have dropped to handy marks and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to the in-form Farnborough.
