Verdict

WRITTEN ACLAIM (8) peaks and led beaten 1L here before coming back and missing by 2.6L over 6f in the QTIS JEWEL (2yo). Finds a suitable assignment and sets a decent standard for the newcomers. VINCLEY (6) debuts for Richard Laming and has looked good at the trials. The wide gate is a negative, but may have the talent to manage. MISHANI HONOUR (3) led and gave it away late at Ipswich. Will be better for that and draws low. Can stick on a lot better. MISS INFORMED (10) needed the debut outing at Dalby. Has trialled well since, and the winkers go on. The gate is against.
