MYRACING.COM SELECTIONS Accelerando has found five furlongs too sharp on her two starts for the Stuart Williams yard. She was twice placed over this course and distance in November for her previous stable and should appreciate the return to this trip. She has come home well in both 2022 outings to suggest that she has more than enough ability to win from this sort of level when things are set up right for her. Two Summers has shown enough in three runs for a mark to think that she can do better now handicapping.

Allarmista is next on the list on the back of her good Southwell third, with Nikki’s Girl also weighted to have a say if her new headgear sees her in a positive light.
