        Verdict

        This looks competitive with Angelena Ballerina, Regal Rave and Lady Of Garmoran all carrying penalties for recent wins but FARMERS DREAM may provide us with an each-way option. John Spearing's charge has obvious claims at the weights as she was just three quarters of a length behind Lady Of Garmoran over course and distance on her handicap bow. That was her first run since November so she's entitled to improve for it and is weighted to reverse the form. Regal Rave was well backed and well on top and may now be progressing but Angelena Ballerina is up in grade after winning a seller at Leicester where she attracted no bid but she isn't badly treated on her old form. Motty's Gift has been running well in his visor and plugs on to the line but he lacks a turn of foot to put his races to bed and may have to settle for a minor role as we take an each-way chance with Farmers Dream.
