Fiach McHugh looked on the upgrade when beaten a head over this trip at Listowel but disappointed when tackling a mile at Killarney. Together Aclaim has suffered three narrow defeats here, the last two when odds-on, and may not be up to conceding 5lb to HONEY GIRL. Henry De Bromhead's filly showed the benefit of her opening run when chasing home Knocklane Lass over this track and trip in December. Circles showed plenty of pace on her debut here in January and looks best of the remainder.
