Verdict
IT MUST BE FAITH has returned from a lay-off in fine form and followed a win at Kempton with last week’s easy victory at Wolverhampton. The veteran can defy today’s double penalty in his current frame of mind. Amnaa is also penalised having returned a surprise 40/1 winner at Kempton in a first-time visor. The headgear remains in place but Vincenzo Coccotti is preferred on a recent nose defeat over track and trip with both Spreadsheet and The Lacemaker finishing behind. Perfect Symphony won at Wolverhampton during the summer and is now back on the same mark but Captain Ryan has plenty to find with the selection.
