Verdict

Cases can be made for most of the septet, but the suggestion is MEDIEVAL GOLD, who matched his previous exploits over hurdles switched to a handicap when third on return at Haydock in December and Micky Hammond's 5-y-o remains unexposed in this discipline. Apologise is thriving at present, so he heads up the dangers in search of an impressive 4-timer, with Bashful and Freddy Robinson taken to fight out minor honours.

  1. MEDIEVAL GOLD
  2. APOLOGISE (IRE)
  3. BASHFUL
