Question Of Faith is ridiculously well treated and could go close at big odds in this if he is anywhere near his best. Sociologist was second over 1m4f at Beverley 11 days ago but Mousebird heads in the opposite direction having placed over 2m at Chepstow. Sea Art won his final start last season at Bath but showed noting in three runs over hurdles for John Quinn. ROBEAM, on the other hand, had decent form over timber over the winter. He may have seen too much daylight when fourth at Wolverhampton earlier this month and deserves a chance to recoup losses back on Turf.
