GOLD FAITH should be wiser and sharper for an opening fourth at Leicester last month and Ralph Beckett's charge may be good enough. Rock Warbler failed to show the expected improvement when third at Chester on his latest start but Approcaillis finished a lot closer when fourth at Wolverhampton last time. Of the newcomers, Art Bleu and Lulworth are worth noting while Shipshape Myfoot is a half-sister to Join Up, a prolific winner on the all-weather.
