      Verdict

      FAR SIGHT is related to a number of National Hunt winners and as ever, any runner from the Philip Hobbs' team must be respected. Night On The Town has the benefit of a recent outing at Southwell where she kept on encouragingly without threatening the leaders. King Of The Woods has plenty of Flat speed in his pedigree and Jamie Moore rates as a positive jockey booking while The Punt hails from a small yard with a high strike rate in this sphere so any market move would be significant.
