Verdict

Five C&D winners take each other on though the best of them on recent form is FARMLEIGH HOUSE. He had Almadaa, Knock Stars and Copper Dock behind when scoring here three weeks ago and can confirm running despite today's worse terms. Copper Dock has since franked the form with a victory here on Wednesday and carries a penalty while My Good Brother added to his Wolverhampton success with a C&D win last month but faces a much tougher task off a 9lb higher mark.
