Verdict

BELIEVE IN SCIENCE's maiden status is off-putting but he ran well when fourth in a C&D handicap on his latest outing 23 days ago and could just be worth chancing to get off the mark operating from a career-low mark. Sand Castle, under Colin Keane, and Clever Capall are others to consider, with Riyami also worth keeping an eye on.
