Charlie Appleby has won plenty of novice races in recent weeks and can do so again with AFRICAN JAZZ. There is much to like about his pedigree and he receives plenty of weight from Mercer's Troop. Archie Watson is another trainer who has had a good winter but the son of Canford Cliffs dictated his own tempo when scoring on debut and the form has been let down. A bigger threat may come from Whispering Sands who has a lovely pedigree and caught the eye on debut. Artarmon should come into his own now tackling this sort of trip and he rates the best of the rest.
