0-8 but getting there and runner-up in his last two starts off this mark; blinkers on
NR (1)	Believe You Me Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Heather Main	J:NON-RUNNER T:Heather Main	134	—	7-5061	64	75	41	27d	—	—	-11	9.7	0.83/1	10/3 23%
Off the mark in comfortable fashion over 7f here last time, but still has stamina to prove

0-10, but has shown ability and has shaped as though 1m will suit; cheekpieces on

0-7 on turf but acts on it; possible to forgive both defeats since second at Brighton

Modest the last twice; makes her stable debut after 11 weeks off; enough to prove
