Bumper and hurdles winner Appy Days makes his debut under this code while there was little between runner-up Treble Strike and Darebin over track and trip when that pair also switched to the Flat last month. Casablanca has had plenty of chances but continues to come up short and a chance is taken on REMEMBER THE MAN. The import from France never threatened when third at Wolverhampton on his debut for Ralph Beckett but he’ll be straighter for that and Ryan Moore’s presence suggests much better is expected today.
