Verdict
PURE FAITH and Donal Devereux combined here earlier in the month to land a comfortable success on the gelding's racecourse debut and another win is expected today at the main expense of Wor Rom and Tiger Line. The selection scored in decisive fashion last time and is hard to oppose in this follow-up attempt. Wor Rom finished third that day, also making a sound start to life on the racecourse, and should give another good account. He is 7lb better off than the selection which may enable him to get close but the selection looks too strong for him. Tiger Line also displayed debut promise and can be expected to progress even more. This is a toughie as far as the rest are concerned. Private Affair is one of the more experienced to take to the track here but she hasn't been seen since November and her form then wasn't great so she may be best watched so check the market for clues. Our selection then is Pure Faith who is expected to follow up on a course and distance win.
