FARLEIGH HOUSE alternates between hurdles and fences with some success and had a bit in hand when scoring over the larger obstacles at Stratford earlier this month. He's starting to creep up the weights now but has the beating of Mr Harmoosh on Huntingdon running last month and is probably the safest option in this. Sauté is now 8lb higher than when beaten at Market Rasen while Factotum, King Brex and Herschel are all struggling for form at present. The others also have something to prove at present.
