Verdict
SAY GRACE found only one too good at Wolverhampton on her handicap bow and should be thereabouts again racing off the same mark. Claim To Fame is creeping closer and drops back down in trip after placing over 7f here. He’s preferred to stablemate Offering but Global Mirage is another to consider on a recent fourth at Kempton. Act Of Passion has only won a seller while Doomsday has been gelded since disappointing at Ayr and makes his handicap debut.
