This should not take a great deal of winning and Pat Haslam's FARAWAY SOUND, who has been running consistently well of late, looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to resume winning ways and he gets the vote ahead of Rocket Rob and Jubilee Juggins. The last mentioned was well held in a handicap at Newbury last time but has every chance dropped into a claimer today. Readily ran better at Lingfield last time but this looks tougher and of more interest may be Richard Hannon's Tartan Turban who is less exposed than most of these. Karl Burke's Officer Mor has disappointed in claimers in his last two starts but it may be too early to write him off, while Rocket Rob should appreciate the return to six furlongs and he has solid claims. None of these have better chances than Faraway Sound though and Pat Haslam's gelding gets the verdict.
