FARAWAY has been racing over longer trips of late but won a seller over C&D in September. David Evans' colt gets the vote to return to winning ways on today's favourable terms. June's Sandown maiden winner I'm Still The Man has gone backwards since, though he has claims at the weights in this contest, while Red Socks is another who will need to rediscover his early form in first-time headgear if he's to figure. Well Wishes may finish closer off a feather weight.
