RICH BELIEF might be able to cap a good spell since the spring by bagging this quite valuable prize. Gaelic Arc was impressive when winning maiden/novice events in May and should have more to offer now handicapping so he's feared most. Too Bright and Gordon Elliott's The Tide Turns also make the shortlist.
