In depth
Verdict
None of this bunch inspire confidence with Qaaraat, One One Seven and Astrophysics all well beaten in separate races at Beverley earlier in the week. The first two mentioned are capable of better back on the Tapeta while the veteran It Must Be Faith won over track and trip back in December though was partnered by an apprentice claiming 7lb on that occasion. JEANS MAITE posted her best so far when beaten a couple of lengths at Southwell on her handicap debut and she gets a token vote with scope for further progress.
