Verdict

The vote goes to MAKETH BELIEVETH, who posted his best effort yet when worn down close home by an upwardly mobile filly at Newbury in October. That was just his third start on turf, so there could easily be better to come from this 4-y-o and he will surely go close if fully tuned-up for this assignment. Recent Doncaster 1-2 Ghadbbaan and Champagne Terri are both greatly respected, while Let Her Loose also has claims.
