Bingley Crocker placed twice over 7f on the Flat as a juvenile but has only run once this year. I STILL HAVE FAITH (NAP) is rated 81 on the level having won four times up to 1m2f this year. If he translates that form to hurdles, he should do well. Weigh Anchor has finished second three times up to 1m4f and travelled strongly for a long way on her hurdles bow before fading to finish fourth. She’ll know more today while Book Of Tales beat a subsequent winner at Fontwell, though is giving his rivals 7lb and upwards less Lilly Pinchin’s claim.
