STAKE ACCLAIM scored over the minimum trip at Newmarket last time but won his maiden over 6f and can go in again. Felix Leiter never threatened the winner when second at York recently but drops down a grade and can get involved but Honcho is upped in class after landing a Class 6 event at Salisbury. Foxtrot Knight has done all his winning over 5f so far while Crack Shot has posted his best efforts over 7f. Belvoir Diva would have a shout if taking part but was engaged to run here yesterday.
