Verdict
The three-year-olds Silca Mistress and Diocles Of Rome are both on a hat-trick. The former is preferred of that pair as the latter has done all of his winning so far at Kempton. Spare Parts is back in the right grade and could leave recent form behind, though isn’t particularly well drawn. APEX KING has switched stables after a couple of disappointing runs last month but he’s now starting to look very well handicapped and showed he handled Polytrack in the summer. A former Listed winner, he has the speed to make the most of his inside draw if back on song. Cheekpieces may help Sword Exceed and Boy In The Bar is consistent, though is still creeping up the weights.
