Verdict
Together Aclaim made great strides from his debut to be beaten just half-a-length over a mile here earlier in the month and the drop in trip won't be a problem. Heavenly Body ran over the track and trip at the same fixture but looked as though another furlong was needed. HERNES HILL made a very promising debut behind much more experienced rivals over the course and distance last month and might be good enough though both Levitating and Wished will also have come on for their respective debuts here. Doitforandrew has been fading over shorter on Turf while Thismydream takes a big step-up in trip having been racing over 5f including in Listed company. Lady Bear is related to a couple of winners and is one to keep an eye on.
