In depth

Verdict

In Good Faith has a chance to redeem her lofty reputation at the expense of Seperated and Longstone Lady. A big money purchase at the Tattersales sales, In Good Faith was made favourite on her British debut but was ultimately disappointing at Bangor. This contest looks easier and there can be few excuses against this level of opposition. Seperated will need to have improved her hurdling technique to trouble the principles. Longstone Lady has returned to hurdling after a series of disappointing efforts over chase fences. She would have claims on a fair second at Exeter last year. Teenager ran a career best at Cheltenham last November and is back after a four month absence. Nice Baby has shown little for Martin Pipe on three recent assignments and will be interesting when reverting to handicaps. In Good Faith will not have many easier opportunities than this to break her duck and is offered up as the selection in a modest opener.
