4d take the field

Or is 4d TAKE THE TITLE? (i.e. snooker champion no.1 in a football league). Also 'a title' can be used as a synonym for a magazine. Have to admit, though, that this solution would be more appropriate to winning a campaign rather than going on one.

Believe - Take
Magazine - The Field
