        Verdict

        The three-year-old's get plenty of weight in this handicap and CRITICAL ACCLAIM is fancied to win again and further enhance her paddock value; Interchange joins Starfala and Island Vista on the shortlist. Plenty of faith is needed here but John Gosden's Peintre Celebre filly was impressive when beating trees in her maiden at Kempton. The fact that she didn't make the racecourse until a relatively late stage suggests that she may follow in her mother's footsteps as she didn't stand much racing. Of those with more experience, the most interesting rival looks to be Starfala. All her wins have come on the all-weather but she has run well on turf before although soft ground is a bit of an unknown. Bassinet has been given a break since her last run which was disappointing, whilst Spring Dream and Candle have contested better races this season. Island Vista is yet to prove her stamina, whilst Interchange represents a stable whose horses are now in better form. A tricky betting contest, however we will take a chance on Critical Acclaim.
