Soft ground was no issue back in the spring when winning in novice and handicap company; progress has rather stalled but it wasn't a bad run last time and she's on a decent mark.

Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years.

Verdict

The in-form APACHE STAR ran really well over 6f on heavy ground here two starts ago and could capitalise on the drop back to a bare 5f. Showalong won on soft ground over C&D in May and could be the chief danger now back here and back on a testing surface. Rhubarb is next on the list, while Sera Dawn, Albegone and Enchanted Night can also be considered in an open race.[Ben Hutton]
