Verdict

Tarseekh won over 7f here back in February and finished in front of Prince Rock when runner-up over the same distance last time. Le Manege Enchante moves in the opposite direction having gone close over the minimum trip while Red Snapper was placed in a seller at Brighton. Wild Flower has a shout back on the all-weather but FAROL is one of the least exposed having finished a close-up fourth over track and trip on her handicap debut and gets a speculative vote returning from a lay-off.
