Farnan appears to have plenty of ammo in the locker.

Golden Slipper winner Farnan has had 13 racetrack runners so far for two winners and two more place-getters with his star performer North England, but the barrier trials over the past month have shone a light on a wealth of talent from his unraced stock.

He has more unraced trial runners than any of his peers with 19 in total and nine of those have placed in trials either this month or last.

Nort

h England was the standout juvenile in action at Rosehill on Monday morning and from what he showed in this trial appears to have made good progress from the spring when he was a close third in the Breeders Plate before winning Golden Gift.

Farnan had four more placed horses at this set of trials, while at the Cranbourne trials he had the winner Blethyn, who powered to the line for a good win.
