Verdict
The well-handicapped SOAP WARS can gain his first turf success. Now with Jamie Osborne, this Acclamation gelding ran an eye-catching race when fifth to Kuanyo at Newmarket. His mark of 82 is 9lbs lower than his last win at Dundalk and a big run is anticipated. Speed Dream is 10lbs higher than when a winner at the Curragh last month, whilst Poppet's Lovein ran well at Pontefract despite getting worked up at the start and off the same mark she should run well. Rain would suit Lochan Mor, Mirza is unexposed and the booking of Richard Hughes is eye-catching, whilst the drop back in trip should suit Imperial Delight. Spanish Bounty, Macdillon and Rapid Water are all 'thrown-in' on their old form, and along with Romanticize ensure that this is a very competitive sprint.
