Verdict

EXCELLENT BELIEVE can cement his positive start for the Stephen Thorne stable by getting his head back in front here. Unique Journey is the obvious threat after his smart effort to win a 6f course handicap last month. Best of the rest may be Storm Ready, who has quickly reached a useful level when winning both starts this autumn.
