Verdict
Rylee Mooch is back in the right grade and Hoofalong was well backed at Wetherby last time only to stumble and unseat his rider soon after the start. Sleeping Apache's form this year is hard to knock while Bashiba has been knocking on the door. Apricot Sky could be running into a bit of form and could be more interesting than Margrets Gift and Macdillon at the likely odds. BALLIOL (NAP) was never in any danger when making all to land his maiden at Windsor. That wasn't the strongest of contests but there should be plenty more to come from the Godolphin colt now going handicapping and he may have been let in lightly here. Coiste Bodhar ran better than expected at Hamilton nine days ago and could also figure.
