Verdict

Grimes Faith, Mafaheem and Chatshow are the shortlisted trio with Grimes Faith set to follow up a last time out success. Mafaheem is a worthy competitor at this level, having won two of his last four starts, one a seller and another a claimer over this course and distance. He is only average, but is fully capable of being thereabouts off this competitive mark. Chatshow hasn't won for well over a year but invariably runs his race. He wasn't beaten far by Grimes Faith last time but only a pound better off here it is hard to see him reversing the form. Grimes Faith is a little inconsistent but invariably runs his race when dropped to this level, and was a decisive winner last time when racing at the minimum trip. He normally races over further than the six furlongs here so this distance will not be a problem. Grimes Faith can follow up.
