Verdict
BLIND FAITH has been expensive to follow this season but a first-time hood and a modicum of leniency from the handicapper might help recover some of the losses. She drops in class having looked a bit unlucky last time and now meets rivals who are aiming higher than they have shown themselves accustomed to. Lucy's Law will run her usual honest race and Livella Fella has claims on the form prior to her Chester disappointment.
