Verdict

If his jumping passes the test now tackling fences, HORACIO APPLE'S could be the answer to this rather tricky-looking contest. He never looked like completing the hat-trick on his final start of last season, but he appeared to be going the right way prior to that. No Regrets and Domandlouis have already exhibited a fair level of ability in this sphere, with the former feared most. Busty Boy was 3-4 between the flags and may well step up on his hurdles form now sent chasing.
