OCEAN APPLAUSE came right back to form here last week and can defy his penalty and a welter burden against inferior rivals, few of which arrive in good shape. The three-year-olds The Nab and Hound Music have won races this year so could have place prospects while Nouveau Foret might be interesting off bottom weight. Virtual Reality started favourite at Pontefract nine days ago and Mahican is potentially well treated but Missandei has been found wanting in weaker races than this.
