A decent looking race where the course and distance form of VEILED APPLAUSE gives that one the edge. The gelding looks really well-treated on his return to the all-weather having not been held that far off a couple of lb higher last time and with that following a victory he is clearly on form. Each-way backers should take a look at Trailblazing at the likely odds based on his neck defeat to the progressive Piano two starts back while Audemar is up a couple of lb for finding one too good last time which is far from ideal. Wedding March has been highly tried this season and might go better for a drop into handicaps but Veiled Applause looks on form and well treated.
