In depth

Verdict

Razoni gave the impression this extra distance would suit when runner-up over 6f at Wolverhampton on his debut. But SELF ACLAIM beat an odds-on favourite over today’s trip at the same track despite still showing signs of inexperience and Hugo Palmer’s colt is taken to defy a penalty. Nuketown is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to others and Timedtoperfection is another newcomer to note.
