Verdict
APACHE MIST went close dropped back to the minimum trip at Wolverhampton and finished in front of Toplight and Chilli Leaves in the process - she gets the vote to go one better. Likely Successor has been thereabouts lately and finished ahead of Onaledge last time but Tapeten Toni has yet to figure in a handicap. Nurse Florence and Flotilla have shown little so far but make their handicap debuts.
