Excellent Believe heads this eleven-runner field at the Curragh on a rating narrowly ahead of Unique Journey, and over seven furlongs on good ground the selection has the profile to justify that edge, though the confidence level here is modest and Unique Journey must be respected as a genuine threat capable of reversing the narrow split. Rahmi and Dmaniac also hold realistic claims and could easily play a part in the finish if either runs to their recent best. On balance the ratings favour the selection, but this is a competitive seven-furlong heat and punters should be aware this is a close call. Excellent Believe is the selection.
