BEGGERS BELIEF was pipped at the post last week by Librettela at Windsor. The penny looks to have finally dropped and he's taken to go one better here. Warbond has been in better form of late and he'll be thereabouts with a repeat of last month's fourth at Wolverhampton, while Hint Of Honey is having only her third start of the season and is preferred to the thoroughly exposed Sir Randolf. Gee Major won over a mile here last month but has yet to prove he stays today's longer distance.
