Verdict
Nigel Tinkler pitches York Listed winner Acklam Express into the mix against some battle-hardened sprinters. He’s done well so far but no two-year-old has won this in more than 20 years, though not many have been entered. Moss Gill’s third behind Battaash in the Nunthorpe is probably the best form on offer and he did win in this grade on the Knavesmire earlier, though this a stiffer 5f and there will be more ease in the ground. Dakota Gold was no match for Starman at York on Sunday but beat MAKANAH almost three lengths earlier in the Beverley Bullet. However, that was the latter’s first try at this level and he was far from disgraced. On 3lb better terms, there might be much between the pair today with Julie Camacho’s five-year-old likely to offer more value with a draw near the stands’ rail. Johnny Murtagh sends Urban Beat over from Ireland and he’s no forlorn hope on runs in this grade at the Curragh and Navan this year.
