Apalis (13/8), Thankyou Very Much (4/1), Hallstatt (6/1), Rubenesque (7/1), Leodis (8/1), Archibelle (10/1), Buyer Beware (16/1), Jan Smuts (25/1), Hugoigo (25/1)

APALIS left five of these rivals toiling when scoring by 2¼L over C&D earlier in the month, and a subsequent 4lb rise in the weights looks more than fair, meaning that she's now just 6lb above her initial mark prior to the winning run commencing. Thankyou Very Much (4lb), Rubenesque (5lb) and Archibelle (6lb) were the closest of her pursuers, and meet the Mick Easterby trained mare on revised terms today. Potentially, it could be Rubenesque who comes out second best here assuming that she's stronger on her second start for Gemma Anderson, and can hang tough on the front end for just a fraction longer.
