Wild Acclaim has won over 6f and a mile here this term and also been placed over this trip. There is no reason why Phil McEntee’s charge shouldn’t be in the firing-line again, despite the penalty. Tigerfish won off this mark at Brighton last summer but the maiden African Girl has done most of her racing over shorter trips, though should strip fitter for a recent second here. Deben is definitely better over 6f while MIDNIGHT GUEST has been confined to sprints so far. Stamina will have be taken on trust today but George Margarson’s filly has run her best races here and has been keeping slightly better company.
