Verdict

Versatile C&D winner Zeftan comes here in good form having won over further last time out and still looks to be on a workable handicap mark, while Light That would prefer it to rain but could be dangerous if allowed a soft lead in a race lacking an obvious pace angle. These two can provide the biggest dangers to APPARITION. Joseph O'Brien's gelding has thrived since switching to handicap company, and looks the type to be capable of further improvement. Only narrowly beaten by a good horse in Clongowes last time, he does have stamina to prove over this trip, but is related to a few horses who have stayed this far and is taken to record a second win three races.
  1. Apparition
  2. Light That
