Often looks a difficult customer (can travel well and find very little) but hasn't really fired this year so far and best watched here given his overall record.

Course winner last year over 2m in a small field off a 4lb lower mark her only win since has come on the AW over a shorter trip. Has proved consistent since then and may not have been suited by the soft ground last time out but looks more of a place than win chance.

Often seen to decent effect around here and won at Ayr in May when cashing in off a falling mark in a weak race. Not been in quite the same form since although had no chance in a far better race than this and this would be far more his level these days.

Very lightly-raced on the Flat but first-time blinkers appeared to pep him up last time out when second over C&D off a 3lb lower mark. Based on his hurdles form and with that run behind him has scope to improve and should be in the mix here.

Form overall looks far more solid on the AW at Newcastle where both of his wins have come. Ran with credit back on turf last time after a run over hurdles and there remain question marks over his turf form.

3/1
Certainly got her act together when tried over longer trips and in a first time hood last year albeit off a lowly mark. Has gradually worked her way back to form this year and scored last time out at Ayr over 1m5f taking advantage of the drop in Class 6 grade and off the same mark she should be competitive again.

C&D winner back in July 2015 his form since then has come nowhere near that level and he remains with a fair bit to prove having not beaten a rival home in his last four starts.

Looked very limited in her maiden runs over 1m2f-1m4f and failed to make any improvement on handicap debut in a first time visor last time out.

Forecasts

Traditional Dancer (13/8), Question Of Faith (3/1), Jonny Delta (7/2), Cosmic Tigress (15/2), Byronegetonefree (12/1), Tectonic (20/1), Nuova Scuola (33/1), Spokesperson (40/1)

Verdict

Not the most inspiring of contests and Question Of Faith sets a decent standard with her stable in good form over the jumps of late and she is allowed here to run without a penalty for her last win. TRADITIONAL DANCER is the one who just makes more appeal though based on his good run over C&D last time out and looking to have some scope off this mark. Cosmic Tigress and Jonny Delta generally run their races and look a likely pair to battle it out for frame honours here.
