Dual 6f winner on turf for Hugo Palmer; much better effort on AW for new yard this autumn when third of five at Wolverhampton (7f) 29 days ago, fading having led; drop back to 6f should suit.

Form & Verdict
Came to hand early, winning twice over 5f in the spring before a close fourth in a Listed event at York's Dante meeting; well short of that level in four of her five subsequent starts, although it's possible she needed the outing after 12 weeks off back on the AW last time.

Apache Spark

9st 9lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

Runner-up on her second start at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last July, but didn't build on that in three subsequent outings; the extra furlong should be just about within range on breeding, but she does need to turn things around; first-time tongue-tie replaces cheekpieces.

4-5 since moving into nurseries, the first two over C&D; had a fair bit to spare when going in again at Lingfield (6f) on Wednesday; effectively 10lb higher here but probably still the one to beat.

Generally struggled for this yard last year but he's become more realistically treated again now; last month's Newcastle reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but he has done his winning on AW and has something to prove on slow turf.

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when justifying favouritism in a C&D handicap last month; was held back over 6f here last time but was only beaten 1l behind an improver and she could kick on again on her drop back to this trip; respected.

0-10 since winning at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) just over a year ago and finished a well-held third of seven at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; the first two have won since, though, so not dismissed down another 2lb.

Now 16lb lower than when winning on Tapeta at Newcastle at start of last year but has been in the doldrums for a while now; visor removed after one use; tongue-tie fitted for first time; revival needed.

12/1

Verdict

The way in which POCKET THE PACKET asserted for a couple of smacks at Lingfield the other day suggests he’s still a fair way ahead of his mark and he can make it 5-6 in AW nurseries. Cariad Angel improved for the switch to AW here last time and is second choice ahead of fellow Nick Bradley runner Glorious Angel. [Andrew Sheret]
