Finished fifth in a race that is working out well on debut at Carlisle (good) and stepped up on that when upped to an extended 7f for the first time at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time out. Likely to prove hard to beat in this.
Finished fourth of six on debut at Haydock (good-to-firm) over this distance last month. Doing his best work late on on that occasion and worth a check in the market here.
Unraced son of Dark Angel purchased for 220,000 gns as a yearling last October. Dam a winner three times in sprints and represents leading connections here.
Fair effort when finishing fifth of 12 over 6f at Haydock (good-to-firm) on debut earlier this month. Interesting to see how he performs upped in trip today.

Expensive yearling purchase QAROUN can make a winning debut here for trainer Sir Michael Stoute. The selection is out of a who won as a juvenile and he can see off previous winner Alfa McGuire who carries a penalty for his Beverley win earlier this month while Dark Acclaim can take third having looked as if he'd improve for the experience when making his debut at Haydock last month.
