Verdict

Fame And Acclaim has improved with every run and easily lost his maiden tag at Cork though faces a much more difficult task. He had earlier finished around two lengths behind So Suave at Gowran and the latter will be 7lb better off with his rider's claim taken into account. Dune Of Pilat, a stablemate of the former, scored at Dundalk before sent to Southwell where he cantered round for an emphatic victory. He could be anything while the progressive Frank Arthur could be on a fair mark for his handicap debut. Star of Cashel continued his winning run at Killarney where he had a bit in hand but the vote goes to the twice-raced BARANIYA, who reappeared with a comfortable victory at Roscommon last month and looks the type to go on to better things.
