      Verdict

      This looks a good opportunity for FAITHFUL RULER to put end an end to his long losing run. Richard Fahey's charge boasts much the best recent form including a good effort over C&D in November. Dropped in class here and favoured at the weights, he'll take all the beating. Connections will be hoping first-time blinkers rejuvenate Ana Moutabahi on her return to action but a bigger threat could come from recent Wolverhampton winner Saddlers Bend. The remainder face a tough task on these terms.
