Verdict
Try as you might it is impossible to get away from the claims of Long Shot and is taken as the TEAMtalk choice despite the risk of stating the obvious. The step up in trip brought about the desired effect at Wincanton last time and she can easily cope with her penalty at this level. Therefore the value may lay in trying to find one for the forecast. Which may be disputed by Wild Dream and Michael's Princess in a race that is unlikely to have a great impact in the form book. Applepie Lady at least has some course experience and looks to be the best of the rest on what they have shown so far.
