APPLESOLUTELY's Taunton win may have come out of left field at the time, but she had the top two in the market in second and third there. The beaten favourite in that maiden hurdle has since won one at Musselburgh by 6L, so it does look to be a fluke and the mare is taken to follow-up. Carlos Du Fruitier has the ability but needs to get back on track and with Good Man Pat a likely danger, Knockrobin likely to be on plenty of short-lists and Well Smitten far from written off, this is not an easy race despite being back against novices.
