Verdict

APIARIST shaped promisingly on debut when fourth at York 3 weeks ago, staying on again close home, and he can progress from that first experience to open his account. Kevin Ryan's colt is taken to reverse the form with Sailthisshipalone from last time, when the pair were separated by only a short head, with Sonmarg the pick of the remainder.
