Acclaim The Nation won at Doncaster on his seasonal bow and may well confirm superiority with Stake Acclaim. Seamster ran well in a tougher sprint at Chester recently but Compas Scoobie disappointed at Yarmouth last time having escaped a penalty for winning at Wolverhampton before that. PADDY POWER has slipped down the weights and should have come on for a recent comeback run at Newcastle. He may well be capable of winning off his current mark and gets the nod.
