ANGEL'S ACCLAIM is very speedily bred being by Dark Angel out of a mare who has produced winning sprinters with her first four offspring. Kevin Ryan's grey will know much more than she did on her only start at Leicester last May and gets a speculative vote. Poet's Reward is an obvious threat after a promising start here last month when he was always in the firing-line while Flawlessly, who cost 80,000 euros as a yearling, is on a retrieving mission having been well supported on both runs early last summer. Alfonso Manana looked ready for a break after a moderate effort at Lingfield in February and can do better.
