THIS FARH has been in fine heart since winning at Lingfield in May and may step forward again for this slightly longer trip. He's preferred to Tilani who has shaped well in two starts for Dermot Weld and may get a stronger gallop to aim at here, while Gangsta Man finished fourth here on Monday despite racing freely and should go well again with Ronan Whelan taking over in the saddle. Of the rest, Highland Harvey has lots to find on form but is worth noting for any support given connections.
