    Verdict

    Auld Fyffee has a tough task on today's terms and Farham is preferred after a promising start when runner-up at Sandown. The latter steps up in trip along with recent Musselburgh winner Swift Approval but MOONLIGHTNAVIGATOR (NAP) makes most appeal. John Quinn's colt found only one too good in a Class 2 handicap at Newcastle on his only previous start over a mile and gets the nod on the strength of that form.
