British-trained sprinters can come to the fore, with BELIEVING very much the one to beat if reproducing anything like the form she showed when fourth in a Group 1 over this trip at Royal Ascot last month. Makarova did it nicely at Sandown a fortnight ago and is second choice ahead of Jack Davison's thriving 3-y-o She's Quality.
