Great Acclaim²⁷

12/1

Aclaim colt. Dam unraced, half-sister to high-class 5f performer Sole Power. Looked badly in need of the experience when eight of 13 on last month's debut at Windsor but was beginning to get the message late on and can be expected to improve.

Forecasts

Movie Maker (9/4), Hurricane Power (9/4), Von Baer (10/3), Rebaatt (10/3), Assembly Call (11/2), Romanee (9/1), Great Acclaim (12/1), Clyde Bay (14/1), Timebar (16/1), Classy Hopes (20/1), Lady Twilight (125/1), Call Time (200/1), Clear Aim (200/1), Gator Girl (200/1)

HURRICANE POWER sets the standard having run to a borderline fairly level the last twice, so he has to be considered the one to beat. Movie Maker is from a useful family and seems likely to build on an encouraging debut at Lingfield, with Rebaatt a newcomer to note.
