5/1
3-time AW winner who has shown improvement over staying trips. Ran creditably when finishing third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (12f) 29 days ago, beaten 4¼ lengths at 12/1. Proven effective at staying trips on AW surfaces.

Best efforts have come on All Weather, including a close second at Newcastle in October and third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (9/2) 44 days ago with first-time blinkers. Competitive chance in similar conditions.

Forecasts

Carlton (11/4), Relocal (4/1), Must Believe (4/1), Veraison (5/1), Pleasant Man (6/1), Parramount (13/2), Atlantic Sunset (22/1)

Verdict

MUST BELIEVE has been in excellent form, winning at Southwell in November before a creditable second at Wolverhampton 26 days ago, and his consistent All-Weather profile makes him the one to beat. Veraison has shown improvement over staying trips with three AW victories to her name and is feared most, while six-time course winner Carlton returns to the Flat where he typically excels.
