Only two in this Nursery field have wins to their names which gives both KRYPTON FACTOR and Believe It Or Not a clear chance and with plenty of scope to improve the first named has the vote while the Battle Of Britain could be better than he's shown. Well backed to step up on a solid Wolverhampton debut the selection just about obliged wandering all over the place under pressure to just score at Hamilton. Given that he was definitely better value for that win than the margin suggests and a small amount of improvement should be enough. Believe It Or Not also progressed on his debut to score on his second start before being outclassed in a Group Three last time. The value of that form is hard to assess but with his sights lowered he looks more of a threat. Battle Of Britain is a relatively well bred sort and his run when third behind smart stablemate Roayh looks good form in the context of this and gives him every chance. Bottom weight Comrade Bond probably looks the best of the rest but Krypton Factor looks to be heading in the right direction and might show enough improvement to win again.
