Verdict
An interesting maiden may go to Have Faith ahead of Coventina, Dami and Zweibrucken, while Celtic Heroine and Rosacara would not have to be anything special to take a hand. The big southern stables are mob-handed here, with preference for Barry Hills' filly Have Faith who tried to make all at Kempton on her second start, for which she was sent off favourite on the strength of a decent introduction at Newbury the time before. She failed to withstand the late challenge of Sioux River but lost no caste in defeat and is worth another chance from her decent draw. Zweibrucken, drawn best of all in 10, shaped well when third to subsequent Haydock winner Ruby Rocket at Kempton, and will be thereabouts. Coventina may need easier ground and a left-handed track judged on her Kempton debut, while Dami was not punished when debuting at Yarmouth and may have more to give. The market should be watched for newcomers Celtic Heroine and Rosacara, given the strength of their respective stables, but they still would appear to have it to do to stop Have Faith from running a big race here.
