Verdict

A debut winner at Doncaster, Apollinaire went close again when headed close home at Newmarket. He should be in the mix but MRS BOUQUET represents last year’s winning yard and, having made a winning start at Newcastle, Mark Johnston’s filly may prove good enough to defy a penalty if acting on today’s soft ground. Know No Limits was placed on soft at Nottingham last month but failed to shown any progress last time but Lexi The One is creeping closer and preferred to stablemate G For Gabrial with Red Hot Streak another likely improver.
