Race preview
As the first foal of a Listed-placed sprinter, EXCELLENT BELIEVE might not leap from the page as a natural miler. However, there is some stamina in his pedigree and having gone close to justifying favouritism over 7f on his introduction at Wolverhampton, stepping up in trip could well see an improved effort, especially now he has some experience to draw upon. The recently-gelded Lola Moon should also be wiser after an encouraging debut at Newbury. River King and Typhoon Dancer are others with the potential to go close.
