        Verdict

        SPIRIT OF APPIN was having her first start since runner-up at Newbury in October when not quite able to pin back the year older La Figlia at Chelmsford with the remainder well beaten. That was over a mile and today's extra can see her go one better though Respectable, another who returned from a long break to perform well at Salisbury, will ensure she doesn't have things her own way. Balaawy was a long way behind the selection at Chelmsford so a bigger threat may emerge in the shape of La Bass, a half-brother to a couple of winners.
