Make Believe colt scored over C&D on second start and appeared to have followed up in soft-ground Haydock nursery last week only to lose race in stewards' room. 6lb well in off this mark and major contender.

Son of Dark Angel has gone with promise in each of three starts over 6f since debuting at Windsor in June over 5f. Steps up in trip again and could have more to offer on this AW bow.

Forecasts

Above (11/10), Rich Belief (11/10), Dark Silver (7/1)

Rich Belief lost a Haydock nursery in the stewards' room last week and could be leniently treated here as such. He's already scored over C&D and needs plenty respecting but he made hard work of getting past the past in front last week and perhaps Oisin Murphy can defy top-weight on ABOVE here. The Chepstow novice he finished second in last month could prove above average and he's since shown a pleasing attitude to win over this trip at Musselburgh. There should be more to come from him. Dark Silver is a possible improver tackling this trip for the first time.
