In depth
Verdict
It will be interesting to see what the market makes of Believe It , who has racked up several All Weather wins since his last turf start, but who does look more at home away from a natural surface. He is undoubtedly well handicapped on his All Weather form but does carry risks and the suggestion here is SPIRIT OF SARWAN . One of two in the race for Julia Fielden, he goes well here, is on a good mark and is better than he showed last time. Honlara and Golden Wedding each has claims, Athassel and Gold Hunter should be competitive and Evanescent and Oell De Tigre could also both have a say in an open event.
