Irish raider Fitrah finished a close-up third at Dundalk a fortnight ago but official figures give her 10lb to find with IT MUST BE FAITH. The latter looks set to lose his maiden tag after beating a subsequent winner when runner-up at Yarmouth. He's also preferred to Poyle Vinnie, second over today's trip at Kempton last month, while Random Success looks likely to need more time on the evidence of a modest debut run at Leicester in July. The newcomer Global Leader makes no appeal.
