GOLDEN APOLLO has been in good form throughout 2018 and looks like a progressive sprinter; he might be worth taking a chance on at what is likely to be an each-way price. Holmeswood more than hinted at a return to form last time and he looks feasibly handicapped. First-time cheekpieces may see Savalas eke out a bit more and he's another who can't be ruled out.
