STAGE ACCLAIM can complete a quick double for Richard Newland as he's much the best of these on official ratings and is eased considerably in class. Fool's Wildcat is now with Louise Allan having spent most of his career with Gordon Elliott but he's been very disappointing for a while now and the weights don't favour last month's Worcester third Silver Lily. Topenhall suggested a return to a longer trip may be in order when second over 2m1f at Market Rasen and could be the one for forecast-backers.
