Verdict

A comfortable winner on her second chase start at Leicester, APPLE AWAY wasn't seen to best effect having helped force a good pace when second behind Grey Dawning in Grade 2 company at Warwick 5 weeks ago. Remaining the type to do better, she's fancied to make a bold bid again in receipt of weight all round. Brave Kingdom, who arrives unbeaten in this sphere, is worth another crack at graded company and feared. Kilbeg King is another not discounted.

  1. APPLE AWAY (IRE)
  2. BRAVE KINGDOM (FR)
  3. KILBEG KING (IRE)
