It should pay to stick with FAREEQ (NAP) in this. The latter won at Wolverhampton last week and has scored over track and trip off today’s mark in the past. Eesha Says finished behind the selection last time but was ahead of Hey Ho Let's Go when runner-up over course and distance before that. Final Legacy was second in novice company here a fortnight ago but Red Stripes and Loulin are preferred on handicap form. Both Autumn Splendour and Filbert Street were beaten by the selection at Wolverhampton last time.
