Outsiders have won the past three renewals and no favourites have won in seven years. It Must Be Faith hasn't won at this level but came very close at Lingfield last time when headed close home. COME ON DAVE landed a handicap at Chelmsford then stepped up in class at Chester and led for a long way. He's 7lb lower on Turf than the all-weather and will take some beating. Diamond Lady is very consistent and will be difficult to keep out of the frame while Cordial will be winning again soon though could just need the run. Powerful Wind gained his ninth success at Chepstow earlier this month but is 5lb higher and jumps a class.
