INSTANT APPEAL is on an upward trajectory for new trainer Stephen Thorne and can make light of a further 5 lb rise and complete a hat-trick. Dark Ace did well when fourth from too far back over 6f here last week and may provide the main threat ahead of stablemate Apache Outlaw, who is seeking a third successive win in this race.
