Mytton's Dream is making her Lingfield debut and looks set to go close from her low mark, however on this occasion we will put our cash in Farthing, with Carmania also expected to go well. The selection wasn't at her best last time but still managed to finish third over the seven furlong trip here last time. She had previously finished a close up fourth to Tiger Hunter over the six furlong trip and a repeat of that effort should be good enough to beat these mainly out of form performers. Carmania is one of the exceptions, as he went down by only half a length to Wilford Maverick last time, he looks the main threat to the selection. Mytton's Dream is very well treated on her best form at Southwell and should be involved in the finish. Daisy Pooter and Cool Sands are the only other two with any semblance of recent form and so it doesn't look too difficult a task for Farthing who is a confident choice
