BELIEVITANDUCAN (6) held on well to finish second last start over 3200m at Kempton Park All Weather, beaten half a length as favourite. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. MR HAMPSTEAD (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a six months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Nottingham. Tackling a longer journey this time. Can launch this campaign in positive style. TIDES OF WAR (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 3200m at Lingfield All Weather last time out. Expected to be there at the business end. PERCY SHELLEY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Ripon, beaten 8 lengths. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
