Pure Faith and Lady Wyndham will have their supporters but it may be worth taking a chance with the newcomer DEAN'S GRANGE. Emma Lavelle's string showed improved form in this sphere last season and she has an interesting runner in this well bred son of Alflora. The sporting owner takes the ride and is often underestimated as a rider and he has owned some decent horses in the past. Pure Faith has shown a consistent level of form on his three starts but the fact that he has failed to improve significantly from his debut has left him vulnerable under a penalty and that may prove to be the case again. Lady Wyndham has been big prices and well held on both starts but they were with cut in the ground and it's possible that she may improve for a faster surface. Powerfullbeat has shown a little ability whilst Lundy Sky hails from a yard that does quite well with just a handful of runners in this sphere but it's Dean's Grange who gets the nod.
