Verdict

It may pay to look towards the top of the weights here, and BELIEVE IT may be the safest option. Unlike may of these Richard Hughes' charge can always be relied upon to show his best in races, and though his recent good form has been on the all-weather is almost as, if not just as good on the turf and benefits from a lower mark in this sphere. Stanley finished third in this last year and also has a chance in first time cheek pieces, while The Gay Cavalier has been running well since winning at Lingfield in June.
