APERITIF has been brought with late challenges to score at Goodwood and Haydock and, though 6lb higher, can complete a hat-trick with her rider's claim a huge plus. Gregorian Girl made all over 7f at Kempton and has run exclusively over that trip subsequently. She's still on a fair mark and has to be a threat. Di Matteo, a winner over this trip at Wolverhampton, has continued to show good pace on the all-weather and there's no reason why she shouldn't be suited by Turf. Stallone has first-time blinkers though his only victory came in a Class 6 handicap on heavy going. Aquarius is the only course and distance winner in the line-up but hasn't been showing much recently.
