Verdict

In Good Faith, not to be confused with Ron Barr's veteran who runs earlier on the card, can land a competitive-looking affair ahead of Master Nimbus, Don And Gerry and Rainbow Tree. Nicky Henderson's In Good Faith was successful over seven furlongs on the Flat in France last October, but failed to live up to her promise in three starts over timber in the spring and was given a break. Given a couple of runs on the level of late to blow the cobwebs away, she returns to facing the obstacles off a rating of 91. Whether that is kind or not remains to be seen, but you can be sure that she will be found a suitable opportunity, and this might be it. The market may tell us more, but she remains one to keep on the right side of. Master Nimbus won a shade cozily at Bangor last time and could be the one to capitalise if In Good Faith does not cut the mustard. Don And Gerry has been ultra-consistent and appears to be booked for the frame at least again, while Rainbow Tree is best watched on his return under topweight. Without being too confident, In Good Faith surely has the scope to do better, and is worth a small interest.
