It's Beyond Belief has been brought on steadily by connections and having finished second on both his racecourse appearances looks to have the ability to land this contest on ground which on breeding looks sure to suit. With his trainer in fine form it will be a surprise if he is not good enough to open his account. Lord Dixon showed ability in bumpers in his early days and showed himself a capable jumper when running well in point-to-points last season. He may struggle after a lay off but is one to consider. Another Moose will be better for his reappearance run at Exeter last month and was a promising hurdler in his day. There is no reason why he should not go close for his in-form stable and ground he is proven on.
