Verdict
I Still Have Faith, a winner over track and trip in July, is on another roll but up a further 5lb and has disappointed twice on really testing ground. Conditions won’t be a problem for Dubai Souq, however, and Callum Hutchison’s claim will help the maiden Palio but the equally lightly-raced NAVARRE EXPRESS won in a canter on soft going at Ffos Las and should cope with a 6lb higher mark. Miss Dolly Rocker is also unexposed in handicaps and could be a threat.
