In depth
Verdict
It’s a while since STILL BELIEVING got her head in front but she hinted at a revival when third at Uttoxeter earlier this month and the winner has franked the form since. Hidden Cargo was no match for Robyndzone at Bangor but finished clear of the third. Riddlestown has run well around here in the past but may be on the downward slope nowadays and Silver Man is also a teenager so Paddling makes most appeal of the remainder.
