None of this bunch inspire confidence with a token vote going to HIGHLAND ACCLAIM as he drops down in class after struggling against higher rated rivals in a claimer at Wolverhampton. Kodiline has plummeted down the weights since scoring over track and trip at the start of the year but Sylviacliffs has recorded both wins so far on the Fibresand at Southwell. Dreamboat Annie and Islay Mist have yet to win on the all-weather though the latter is capable of placing at this level if the mood takes her.
