Verdict
Question Of Faith beat Rioja Day three lengths over track and trip recently and is penalised for her trouble. That was the latter's best effort over hurdles so far but a chance is taken on MORNING TIME in this. He showed signs of a resurgence when not beaten far in fifth at Musselburgh last month and a subsequent winner has come out of the race. It's hard to make a case for any of the remaining trio with Verona Opera and Suprise Vendor struggling and Anitopia having his first start since 2012.
