A fiendishly competitive apprentice handicap with many in with a shout. However, the vote goes to IRISH ACCLAIM, who shaped a lot better than the distance beaten suggests at Lingfield last month, and from this much-reduced mark, he's taken to get back to winning ways. Himalayan Beauty, Woodrow and Reverberation look just a handful of dangers.
