      Verdict

      A couple of these won separate divisions of the same handicap over 1m6f at Carlisle last time. Question Of Faith had won over 2m earlier and is upped a further 3lb today. She’s taken to confirm running with New Youmzain and will handle the underfoot conditions but so will ELITE ICON. The latter had to make up plenty of ground at Carlisle but won going away. He’ll stay today’s longer trip on that evidence and is also preferred to Schmooze, who has done all his winning over shorter trips so far.
