EPSOM FAITHFULL ran her best race for some time when third on the Turf course here. Back on a winning mark, she’s just preferred to Lilkian. The latter also won off a higher mark at Kempton back in April and wasn’t beaten far at Wolverhampton last time. Sir Rodneyredblood looks high enough in the weights on his return to the all-weather while Good Earth has done all his winning on Turf and Give 'Em The Slip has yet to win anywhere but may do better back over this shorter trip.
