Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten just under 2l over 1m1f here (handicap) last Thursday; course specialist who has won three times here; last time's run after break should have restored condition and could have a say.

Verdict

A wide-open event. Vesuvio rates a big danger while this trip could be a bit far for Military Moves. However, APACHE SON is worth siding with. He bids for a fourth course success.
