APPEAL DENIED looks attractively handicapped and is selected accordingly. Now 31lbs lower in the handicap than in March, Sandy Forster's gelding gets to race off bottom-weight here and the return to this trip should suit. Guns And Butter is edging down to an attractive mark, Heavenly Chorus returns to fences having been well-fancied the last time he tackled them, whilst Devil Water is handicapped to strike. Baaher was still going well at the track when falling earlier in the month and is far from discounted here.
