We said3rd of 7, beaten 3½ at 13/2
SPIRIT OF ACKLAM 5/1
SPIRIT OF ACKLAM at 5/1, Michael & David Easterby and Joanna Mason, looks the pick of these. He went close off this sort of rating, beaten 3L off 81 (1lb higher than today) on 28 May and handles the ground, with a win from 2 on it.
WARDLAW rates higher on our figures but is passed over on the ground — never run on soft or heavy in 8 starts — and today is soft.
