Verdict

BELIEVE YOU ME has a career-high mark to overcome but there was plenty to like about her recent course win so she looks the way to go with this longer trip also a likely plus. Lunar Landscape is feared most on the back of his good Bath second, ahead of Archie Watson's new recruit Lunanera.
