Tim Easterby runs three in this with three-year-old Golden Apollo seeking a fourth win of an already successful campaign. He handles the soft but may be hampered by a low draw. Stable companion Flying Pursuit also arrives in good form and Explain, one of two Ruth Carr runners, won well over 7f at Chester last time despite meeting interference - Right Touch looks held on that form. Snap Shots has run well here in the past and so has Nameitwhatyoulike. Red Pike has been thereabouts lately but NAGGERS can bounce back to form on ground that he loves. Recent efforts on quicker surfaces can be ignored and Paul Midgley’s charge will have no excuses today from stall 13.
