Verdict

There could be more to come from BELIEVE BELIEVE now that he's up and running and he can follow up his Punchestown success with this longer trip likely to be in his favour. Shay's Dream and Wie Wunderbar are a couple of the likely dangers in a competitive handicap for the grade.

  1. BELIEVE BELIEVE (IRE)
  2. SHAY'S DREAM (IRE)
  3. WIE WUNDERBAR
