BLIND FAITH (NAP) made a successful racecourse debut over 1m2f here in June before a fine run in a Sandown handicap. She didn't appear suited by soft ground at Ffos Las a month ago and can get back on track. Brick Lane won twice over 7f at Wolverhampton before staying on over that trip here and is probably still on the upgrade. She has Callum Shepherd's claim to aid her cause and should go close. Wakame has won three times since July, twice under Jim Crowley, and though climbing the ratings it will be a surprise if he doesn't get involved again. Ilzam would have a chance second to none on his victory in a Class 4 at Wolverhampton in July but he ran poorly on a return visit the following month.
