Verdict

WORTHY FARM could very easily be well handicapped given he has only had the three races under rules so far and this former 30L point-to-point scorer won last time with more in hand than the official margin when he wandered under pressure so there looks plenty more to come and he gets the nod. Great Trango is the only runner this afternoon for his Irish trainer and jockey so surely is expected to go well and after a good run of form he indeed should do. Goodbye Dancer bumped into a very well handicapped type last time out but ran creditably nevertheless and has sound claims here.
