Verdict
Believe It is out of a dam that won over 7f on good to firm and he could prove the pick of Richard Hannon's two runners, ahead of the exposed Harbour Patrol. But WOTNOT should be up to winning this if handling the switch to Turf. She swerved on leaving the stalls on her debut at Kempton but stayed on strongly inside the closing stages once she'd got the hang of things and should have too much for Bushephalus, who is also racing on Turf for the first time. Free To Love has only been showing modest form and her future may lie in handicaps.
