Verdict
Becker won at Wolverhampton before finding one too good at Kempton and is preferred to stablemate Tomshalfbrother. Kath's Lustre has been thereabouts over 6f recently and has done all her winning so far over the latter trip but TIME TO REASON (NAP) won last year’s renewal off a 6lb higher mark. Recent placed efforts at Wolverhampton suggest he’s set for a return to winning ways and Charlie Wallis’ charge gets the vote. It Must Be Faith can do better back at this lower level and is preferred of the remainder.
