Verdict

Would You Believe made a belated seasonal return at Kempton earlier this month, and showed enough promise to be the pick here, Kjetil and Penthouse Minstrel look to be the obvious dangers. The selection has had plenty of training setbacks, but the fact that Phillip Hobbs is persevering suggests he retains plenty of ability. He was beaten quite a long way when fourth to Change Agent in that Kempton event, but after a year's holiday he is entitled to improve a great deal and he should be capable of going close in this company. Kjetil hit winning form at Ludlow last time, beating The Lyme Volunteer quite comfortably. He is relatively lightly raced and should be involved in the finish. Penthouse Minstrel was most impressive when beating Ede'iff over a shorter trip here last time. He will have no problems with the extra distance and it is hard to see this one out of the first three. Mulligatawny may prove best of the others, but Would You Believe is open to any amount of improvement and gets the verdict
