Form & Verdict
Plenty of good runs for Mick Appleby last year, including a win at Leicester and a close second in a division of this race; well treated on those efforts but out of sorts for new yard and needs a major upturn in form.

Finished a narrow second in this race last year for previous connections; failed to beat a rival in three starts (all C&D) since returning for this yard in May; well treated now but she's very hard to recommend at present, with wind surgery the only obvious straw to clutch at.

0-6 but he ran his best race when close fifth at Ripon (1m, good; tongue-tie added) ten days ago and that can be marked up because he ran into some trouble in the closing stages; should be fine with this drop back in trip and he looks interesting off 1lb lower than last time.

0-12 but she's reached the frame in three of her last four runs including when third at Wetherby (1m, good) last month; had a close call off a higher mark over C&D last summer and she's a key player on this drop back in trip; cheekpieces added.

Poor 1-22 strike-rate on turf and not at the top of her game on Southwell AW on her last two starts, but she's never really shone there; she's 5lb lower than for her close fourth over C&D (good) last October and is an interesting contender now away from Southwell.
