A wide draw and 6f distance were enough to thwart FORCE AND VALOUR at Chester earlier this month but he makes plenty of appeal on his return to the all-weather. The Mehmas gelding looked one to follow when scoring at Newcastle as a juvenile and his subsequent efforts in Meydan were more than respectable. Handicap debutant Critical Aclaim supplemented three runner-up efforts with a breakthrough triumph at Brighton 20 days ago and he's feared most, ahead of Binhareer. |
CRITICAL ACLAIM has obvious claims on the back of a maiden victory last time first time on turf. That effort was actually a bit below the levels shown in threee AW runs prior and a return to this surface should suit. A mark of 79 for his handicap debut looks more than fair and as long as he's not quite as sluggish early as last time (all three previous runs he was in the vanguard) he can land the double. Zabeel Road is interesting if forgiven a below par effort to kick of this campaign last time. That was a first try at 7f, up from 5f for his first four runs, on handicap debut but he seemed to see out the trip fine and can be given another chance at it. Likely to strip much fitter today and with greater confidence of staying the trip a bold show is on the cards. Spirit Lead Me is another who needs to have come on a fair bit for a pipe-opener but should appreciate the drop back to 7f and goes very well here. He's narrowly preferred to Blue RC and Leadenhall Street |
