Verdict

There could be more to come from BELIEVE BELIEVE now that he's up and running and he can follow up his Punchestown success with this longer trip likely to be in his favour. Shay's Dream and Wie Wunderbar are a couple of the likely dangers in a competitive handicap for the grade.

9	Well supported when going down narrowly on return at Gowran in May and showed why 4 months on when making no mistake taking on his elders for the first time at Punchestown (9f) 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but could still have more to offer now that he's up and running and this longer trip will suit. 1st Pick 9 Believe Believe (Ire) Jockey: Reese Holohan Trainer: M. D.

11	Dropped in grade for only his second handicap start and showed much more than previously when second at Down Royal (11f) last week, the race not getting to the bottom of him. Suddenly interesting after that. 2nd Pick 11 Shay's Dream (Ire) Jockey: J. Pietropaolo Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: J. Pietropaolo T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	100	-	-	-	10%	9/1

3	Placed twice in Germany and made the perfect start for current connections when winning 11f handicap at Naas in August. Good third at Listowel (1½m) a fortnight ago, no extra only late on and lost third final strides. Can go well again. 3rd Pick 3 Wie Wunderbar Jockey: Keithen Kennedy Trainer: Mrs J.
