Goodwood Race 5 - Virgin Bet Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
ROYAL ACCLAMATION (4) Came in 2nd last run at Haydock on a heavy surface and putting a tidy record together so far. Jockey Billy Loughnane and trainer Charlie Appleby are a formidable team. Major player. DONEGAN (1) Scored a victory by 2L last run at Kempton and having second race start. Won't be far away during the run. Has genuine claims in this race. BUNDABERG (2) Honest race when 3rd last start at this track. Shows very good closing speed. Solid place bet prospects. IRON CURTAIN (3) Zipped home into 2nd last run at Salisbury and having second career run. Should be swooping on the field late. Drawn the rails. One of the hopes.

Displayed potential when winning by 2L last run at Kempton and fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Major chance.

Finished well when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at Salisbury and was a debutant last start. Will be hitting the line strongly. Will not be far away.

Competitive effort when 2nd last run at Haydock and showing consistent performance in races. Jockey Billy Loughnane and trainer Charlie Appleby are an appealing combination. Going up in weight. Will go close.

Started at $12.00 and ran 5th last time at Southwell but was on debut last time. Expected to settle towards the tail. Can find a nice position from the draw. Hard to see it being good enough.
