      Verdict

      Apache Star won over track and trip on his penultimate start with UNDER CURFEW behind. But the latter has subsequently gone close at Brighton and may have finally fallen far enough down the weights to get his head back in front. Lilkian has a shout back down in class after a fourth at Newmarket while Gherkin finished in front of Fair And Square when narrowly beaten over 5f here and Savalas drops down in trip with a chance.
