Don't Forget Faith should have too much class for the rest of the field here and she is taken to get the better of Cruel Sea and Madame Hoi. The selection was not disgraced in a Group 3 race when last seen out and dropped to this grade she looks the one they all have to beat. Cruel Sea won well on her debut at Doncaster last time when she beat Desert Chill. She looks the type who may have a big future, but the simple fact is she will need to have improved over the winter if she is to get the better of our selection. Madame Hoi was a fair third at Kempton last time in a Listed race, but she had the run of the race that day and she is another that will need to improve if she is to land this event. Mischief Making is more exposed than several of these and on that basis she is probably worth taking on. It will be a surprise if Don't Forget Faith gets beat here and she is put forward as the confident pick.
