In depth

Verdict

Highland Acclaim has won four times on Turf but all over 6f. This drop in distance could be a problem for the Chelmsford third, who is making his debut on Tapeta. Upstaging's winning form is also over an extra furlong and he's now on a career-high mark but Top Boy is respected as he's won twice here and twice on Polytrack and is still on a winning mark. The three-year-old Just That Lord is also interesting and could reverse Leicester running with Distant Past and Top Boy on better terms. Eight of ORIENTAL RELATION's nine career victories have come on artificial surfaces. James Given's grey arrives off a decent effort at Chelmsford and shouldn't be far away again, though Seeking Magic is a danger given he has the speed to take advantage of his low draw and isn't badly handicapped on his best form.
