El Viento beat Mythmaker less than a length when scoring at Lingfield last month. The latter re-opposes on slightly better terms while Anonymous John finished further behind in the same race. Showtime Star has also been running well at Lingfield and went close again on his latest start. He could figure but Billyoakes still looks high enough in the weights and has become disappointing. IT MUST BE FAITH failed to get involved in a Class 2 sprint at Chelmsford recently but was narrowly beaten in this grade earlier in the year and Mike Appleby's charge may come good racing off the same mark today.
