    For me Make Believe looked fabulous when thrashing Newday by 3 lengths …Fabre is a very shrewd judge and has chosen this race..instead of the Sussex stakes…Im on and interestingly as someone pointed out to me John McCririck and Jim Mcgrath on ATR last Weekend both agreed that Make Believe would beat Gleneagles..in their opinion.Now into 2s

    I fancy Make believe as well, obviously the favourite is the favourite for a reason, but to me he looked desperate unimpressive last time out, and I don’t buy all the usual hyperbole afterwards from Aidan about him being the “best miler he’s ever trained”

    What about Hawk Wing, Rock of Gibraltar, Henry the Navigator?

    The slow pace they went at the Curragh was probably against him but there’s no obvious pace here either, I think the French horse should get a soft lead and gradually wind it up from the front. Clearly the worry is the ground but the trainer doesn’t sound concerned.

    Gleangles may have his work cut out here . Make Believe will
    push him all the way and could surprise the O’Brien hotpot.

    One to watch for me.

    Gleneagles : not at the price though . :negative:
