Verdict
Sir Michael Stoute seems to be getting his yard into top gear now and APACE could provide Freemason Lodge with another winner here. He finished second in a decent handicap at York on his comeback and can confirm running with Gottcher, Millyluvstobouggie and Berberana. Nottingham winner Sugar Beet is upped in class, but On The High Tops has every chance despite his higher mark after scoring at Thirsk on his reappearance. Kinlochrannoch showed plenty of promise last year and is worth a second look on her return.
