Verdict
Apple's Queen is two from two between the flags but was only placed once in six starts under Rules in France. Tony Star is looking a shadow of his former self and so is Loch Ba while Lamb's Cross has been pulled up in four of his last five starts and was tailed off in the other. MURRAYANA has been placed in three of four previous starts over fences and was a progressive sort over hurdles at the end of last season. He won a Men’s Open at Charing last month on his first start in a point-to-point and could turn out be useful in this sphere in time.
