The looks tricky as Tin Fandango beat little when scoring over today’s distance in heavy going here last month and is 6lb higher. Maketh Believeth only won a maiden handicap over 1m4f at Wolverhampton though still finished well ahead of the re-opposing EVALUATION. But the latter is fitted with a tongue-tie today and a chance is taken he improves for the extra distance given his dam is the high-class stayer and Ascot Gold Cup winner Estimate. Man Of Riddles is also upped in trip but drops down in class and is preferred to Rwanda Mist.
