      Verdict

      The winning run of the dramatically improved BELIEVE IT has to come to an end sooner or later and it may well be here as he's required to prove himself on turf after rattling up four wins in his last five starts on the artificial surface at Kempton. However, as a result he's rated 15lb lower on grass so is theoretically very well treated here as he resumes his partnership with Stephen Cummins, in the plate for all four victories. Course and distance winner Carcharias has run into the improver that is Swilly Sunset the last twice but remains on a fair mark and has his conditions. He should be thereabouts along with other course and distance winners in Fantasy Queen and Admirable Art. Intensical is forgiven his latest performance but still faces a tough task under topweight.
