FormscanBy Gary Carson - RICH BELIEF (2) has slipped to a nice mark on the Flat and may be able to score here. The Make Believe gelding has run solid races in claiming hurdles on his last couple of outings and this looks like a winnable opportunity now. Gallo Dell Cielo was an impressive winner at Tramore last month but got a 10lb hike as a result and while that makes life tougher he should be capable of another big show here. Miss Gitana ran poorly at Navan last time but would be a big player on previous placed form.
