APACHE CREEK bids for a hat-trick raised 10lb on his return to action. But he scored easily at Wetherby last time, despite a mistake at the last, and today’s opposition fail to inspire much confidence. Glorious Lady has struggled since landing a novice hurdle at Musselburgh and No No Maestro is less exposed. Wicked Willy was still beaten a long way when runner-up in a seller but Don't Ask may improve on his second outing after wind surgery and Arcadian Pearl can do better on this faster surface.
