Verdict

Adrian McGuinness saddles two live contenders in EXQUISITE ACCLAIM and Jaafel, who joined the yard following his success in a 1m claimer for Denis Hogan last month. The latter is consistent on the whole but preference is for his stablemate, who shaped well off this reduced mark over C&D when last seen in December. Punk Poet needs to get back on track but he's feared having slipped to a tempting mark, while the hat-trick seeking Circles and She's In The Game are others to consider.

  1. EXQUISITE ACCLAIM (IRE)
  2. JAAFEL (IRE)
  3. PUNK POET (IRE)
