Verdict

BELIEVE IN SCIENCE remains winless following 17 attempts now, but he's edged further down the weights and is worth one more chance to capitalise having not been seen to best effect the last twice. Celtic Revival is running consistently well and seems sure to give another good account, with Ghumama another to consider having run better than for a while on her most recent outing.
