An easy victory at Chepstow has seen Stone Roses raised 8lb and it could be the turn of something else in this. SPIRITED ACCLAIM (NAP) missed an engagement in a tougher race at Newbury yesterday and takes her chances here instead. David Elsworth's filly can go close with a repeat of her earlier second over track and trip. Star of Spring and Fondly have both been placed over 7f of late and Miss Inga Sock's victory at Brighton came over the latter distance. Conjuring and Nouveau Foret have both slipped down the weights but are harder to fancy on recent form.
