FAULT has been in great heart of late and can gain a deserved success of his own today. Requisite has the headgear reapplied today and shouldn't be underestimated, while Titus Gent and Louphole are others more than capable of landing a telling blow at this level. Louphole has been busy this season but has gained only a solitary win for his troubles. However, he does know what to do when he gets the breaks in running and has to merit a second look in this company. A similar statement applies to Titus Gent, who has held his form well. However, he may prefer the turns at Wolverhampton rather than the switchback track he will encounter today. Requisite can be a law unto herself and her wins to runs ratio could be better if she showed more resolution. However, the filly has the ability to go well for an each-way punt and is one to bear in mind for a small interest bet. However, Stef Liddiard seems to have found the key to Fault and the mount of Tom Queally, who dead-heated at a similar level at Kempton last week, can be fancied to take home the lion's share of the spoils if he is as determined to succeed today.
