A midweek treat on what is now a short road to Cheltenham, this looks likely to revolve around APPLE'S JADE and Limini. The former has been going through the gears nicely this season and, if last season's form is to be trusted, may well improve as the spring arrives. That makes her an exciting prospect and she ought to win this en route to the Cotswolds. Limini is likely to be festival-bound too but, having not raced since April, she's quite entitled to want this run. Even at her best, she might do well to come out on top against her former stablemate. Whiteout is no slouch and has beaten Limini before so she is not written off. Of the remaining trio Rock On The Moor is best equipped to seize on any scraps from the top table. 1. Apple's Jade 2. Limini 3. Whiteout
