APPEAL has improved for the step up to middle-distances and won over 1m6f here in November. Sir Mark Prescott's progressive filly is worth sticking with upped in trip once again. Admirable Duque also scored here last time but has an 8lb rise to contend with, while Priceless Art makes his Polytrack debut after winning at Southwell recently. La Estrella is best on the Fibresand nowadays, but Zamina has every chance on her earlier placed form at this track. Sand Skier is hard to win with but should be suited by today's greater test of stamina.
