In depth
Verdict
Several arrive on the back of decent efforts over a mile here. Thistleton and Little Sunflower found only one too good while Honey Pot finished closer on her reappearance and handicap debut. But APACHE JEWEL (NAP) was beaten less than a length over track and trip despite being hampered in the closing stages and she may prove the one to side with. Greycious Girl won over 6f on soft going at Lingfield and is 6lb higher while Portelet Bay won over the same trip at Redcar earlier.
