Believe It beat Caledonia Laird a head over track and trip last month but was beaten off today's higher mark during the week and the latter may reverse running. Zed Candy Girl, Smalljohn and Beauty's Forte all finished further behind Believe It but MOONBI CREEK won here in October and went close again over course and distance last time. Richard Ford's charge gets the vote on that form though National Service has slipped down the weights in Ireland and looks a threat for Gordon Elliott.
