The next race on the card is not the greatest contest and maybe PURE FAITH can get his head in front at the expense of Exulto and Irish Symphony. The selection will have a 171 day absence to overcome but if fit could take all the beating. He has twice finished behind the classy Get Me Out Of Here and that form looks quite decent now. Peter Bowen is known for his summer jumpers and this could be another nice one to have. Philip Hobbs' team remain in good form and his recent winner Exulto must be respected. He was a fortunate winner that day as he was being strongly pressed by a strong travelling horse when that one fell. He still put day light between him and the second horse so he should not be underestimated. Irish Symphony has been second on his last three starts but has been beaten by some useful types. He is also not without a chance but we will put forward Pure Faith as the selection.
