Verdict

MAKE ME A BELIEVER ran out a determined winner of a small-field Cheltenham novice last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he's fancied to continue his good work now stepping up in class. Midnight River boasts some solid form for a yard that has won 2 of the last 5 renewals of this contest, so he merits respect, along with the promising Oscar Elite.
