Although he is unlikely to be the most original selection of the day, Farlington is probably the least exposed runner in the field and he is confidently expected to continue his education with a good display in this company. Polyphon, Garden Party and Rosie Redman make up the body of the opposition and will push Howard Johnson's charge all the way to the line. However, Farlington created a very favourable impression on his rules debut last month and already has the beating of On The Luce on that form alone. The son of Alflora, a previous point-to-point winner, showed great resolution when just being out-pointed by Joint Authority at Sedgefield and a similar effort will should suffice today. Polyphon hinted that he has a race in him somewhere along the line on his first start for Pauline Robson earlier this year and is preferred over the exposed Rosie Redman to give Farlington the most to do.
