A case of quantity over quality here with APACHE OUTLAW getting the verdict to come out on top. Joseph O'Brien's charge bumped into a useful prospect at the Curragh 3 weeks ago and a repeat effort should be enough to land the spoils. The step up in trip should suit Polar Bear so he's put forward as the main threat, while Semblance of Order may emerge as best of the newcomers.
