FormscanBy Tom Weekes - EXQUISITE ACCLAIM's only previous win was here in September 2021 but his rating has recently fallen. Rated 98 in May 2022 and unplaced in an Italian (Group 3) 2,000 Guineas, he returned to some form recently and a reproduction of his latest course-and-distance placings might prove enough to win. Bobby K, a six-time winner, is an all-weather specialist who would prefer a mile but has good recent form and should compete under his 7lb claimer. Lasting Peace ran satisfactorily in his two all-weather runs and runs in first-time cheekpieces while Princess Rajj took a late stumble when disappointing on her last run but reappears following a break under a 7lb claimer. Harbanaker and The Bog Bank's best form is over a mile while Boadicea Belle is a three-time all-weather winner but is out of form.
