STAGE ACCLAIM has been running well over further and Seb Sanders is likely to make plenty of use of Dr Newland's gelding in order to exploit his proven stamina and he's expected to have sufficient pace to cope with the shorter trip. The ground is another issue entirely but it will prove no problem for Dancing Storm who made a pleasing return to action at Chepstow but she doesn't appear to have a great deal in hand of the assessor whilst Dazzling Begum may also be a shade high and does need things to go her way to some extent. Ocean Of Peace has plenty of form on soft ground in France over similar trips so is well worth a market check whilst Prickles isn't dismissed despite finishing behind Deejan last time.
