Verdict

Redcar winner Arc Shadowfax steps up a furlong but is probably the pick of those with experience ahead of last month’s Newbury third Overlooked, who didn’t appear to stay tried over this trip at Sandown. Bella Wella overcame a tardy start to make a winning debut at Carlisle but probably didn’t beat much and Sailthisshipalone has a length to find with Polly The Rocket on Pontefract running. They all look vulnerable to a newcomer with APIARIST, a half-brother to four winners, preferred to Loose Cannon and Batal Dandy of that group.
