Verdict
FARLOW was winning for the third time in his last four starts when scoring on the turf at Lingfield last Saturday. He's effectively racing off a 1lb lower mark here with his apprentice's claim taken into consideration and Ralph Beckett's charge can go in again. Volcanic Dust is another progressive sprinter and a 6lb penalty shouldn't prove too much of a burden as she ran out a four length winner at Sandown last week, but Palais Glide needs to find a bit more off her current mark though Richard Hughes prefers her to stablemate Ceffyl Gwell. State Of Mind and Seeking Magic are the least exposed in the field and worth keeping an eye on.
