APPLE ROCK has shown his form at a higher level than this and sprung back to his best at Southwell last week, so should take all the beating from an unchanged mark. Kotmask shaped well on his reappearance at Ascot and is respected, with Sullivan's Brow perhaps capable of better over this longer trip on his return.
