Arriving easily one of the least exposed, INSTANT APPEAL again ran well when third in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown (9f) 3 weeks ago and he looks one of the likelier types once more operating from the same mark. Refreshment has proved to be a different proposition since the blinkers went on and he's highly respected in his hat-trick bid. Genuine Jim and Empress Artemis complete the shortlist.
