This can go to BELIEVITANDUCAN, who was clear of the rest when runner-up at Kempton last month and remains fairly treated. Lingfield winner Tides of War is feared most, whilst Mr Hampstead can also make his presence felt.

Seven wins from 26 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 7½ lengths ninth of 14 to Tides of War in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Work to do.
