Bathcounty was well beaten in a Grade 2 event having won his maiden at Stratford in October. Much better is expected here while Farbreaga is likely to make a bold bid for his hat-trick off an 8lb higher mark after scoring at Kempton earlier this month. Invicta Lake had Lava Lamp well behind when winning over track and trip but never figured off an 8lb higher mark last time while All Annalena, who has been competing in better company of late, was due to run yesterday. THUNDERING HOME won at Sandown on Friday and is fancied to post a quick follow-up with Tom Bellamy claiming his full 7lb.
