Verdict

IT MUST BE FAITH arrives in fine form having won a tougher race than this over track and trip last time with Berlios well beaten. Partnered by a leading amateur, he’s preferred to The Amber Fort, who went close in a selling race here last time. Searanger won over course and distance in November and Arcanista ran well at Chelmsford more recently while Laughton slips further down the weights. But Pushkin Museum was runner-up off a higher mark in last year’s renewal and makes more appeal.
