Verdict

Though his Cheltenham reappearance was underwhelming on the face of it, FARINET shaped as though he would come on for the run and this low-mileage 7-y-o remains of interest judged on his impressive C&D victory last spring. Luckofthedraw should be on the premises and Kilbrook is unexposed in this sphere, but it could be another French import, Red Happy, who will give Farinet most to think about.
