Verdict

Charlie Appleby's ROMANTIC STYLE looked well suited by reverting to a sprint distance when scoring impressively at Meydan in the winter and this smart filly can add to an earlier C&D victory here. The most likeable Apollo One could emerge as the main danger given he goes well fresh, although the thriving Royal Zabeel and Ayr Gold Cup victor Lethal Levi can also have a say in a cracking Abernant.
