Successful over 2m on soft ground here in March and put in a decent effort when seventh at Haydock (2m3f, soft) subsequently. Best form has come with plenty of cut in the ground.

Forecasts

Potters Midnight (2/1), Apache Song (5/2), Amron Kali (9/2), Mariah's Legend (5/1), Northern Beau (10/1), Red Four (20/1)

Verdict

APACHE SONG can register her third win over hurdles by taking this mares only handicap hurdle. The selection races off a mark 4lb higher than when winning at Wincanton in March and she can see off her rivals here with Northern Beau, who finished behind the selection last time out capable of finishing second. Third can go the way of Mariah's Legend who makes her return to hurdles in this.
  1. Apache Song
  2. Northern Beau
  3. Mariah's Legend
