Verdict
Milton Harris is keeping APPRECIATE very busy but the gelding has already rattled up a four-timer since mid-May and continued his good run with a strong runner-up effort at Stratford a week ago. He's 15lb higher as a result of his winning spree but still looks the one to beat with conditions in his favour. Social City should get involved, although he's yet to score in half a dozen hurdling outings, of which his most recent was his best yet, albeit in a four-runner affair. Zoran is far from being a leading light of the champion trainer's yard but connections are persisting with him and he remains one of the more likely ones in a modest contest and is still relatively inexperienced over timber. Miss Marette is coming down the weights pretty quickly and has each-way claims of her latest mark of 68.
