It will take a good performance to beat BELIEVING, from a yard in top form after a very promising second at Newmarket last weekend. Lady Nagin also ran at HQ when showing good pace for a long way over the minimum trip. Dragon Glory cost £82,000 and has a very speedy pedigree while Hi Clare was a £75,000 yearling by Kodiac out of a winning miler in France. Pearls Of Joy also has a smart pedigree being by Oasis Dream out of a 7f winner.
