Verdict
Faith Jicaro has every chance on her recent third at Worcester with a conditional's allowance helping her cause. She is preferred to Zama Zama, who was placed in a novices' handicap at Ffos Las last time. Red Rosso made the frame over a shorter trip at Southwell on his latest outing but a chance is taken on CAPISCI. He won at Huntingdon the last time he competed in a Class 5 chase and Sarah-Jayne Davies' charge should go close again off a 3lb higher mark.
