KYLES FAITH (NAP) jumped superbly when making all on fast ground at Exeter and though raised 8lb Conor Shoemark's claim will help and Martin Keighley's charge can complete a quick double. Cape York gained his first success over fences at Wetherby in March but didn't perform quite as well at Market Rasen last month and finished behind today's rival Smart Catch. The latter only succumbed in the closing stages and should make a bold bid to go one better. Both of Houndscourt's chasing victories have come on this track though he would prefer softer conditions while Be A Dreamer has been well supported on several occasions but failed to deliver.
