Verdict

Cases can be made for any number of these, but preference is for FARMER JIMMY, whose sole success came at this track last February and Mark Walford's 6-y-o was patently unsuited by the drop back to 2½m at Southwell last month. Yummy found the trip inadequate on handicap debut last time and he remains capable of better, with Ck O'Mara and Twoplacesatonetime not out of things, either.
