Judicial won this in 2019 but Tis Marvellous has won the last two with the former beaten four lengths in 2021. The latter has been out of form but can't be dismissed on his hat-trick bid though his yard also run Kerdos, who ran very well behind Highfield Princess at Goodwood. Silky Wilkie was behind in the latter event and was only fourth at Newcastle on Thursday. APOLLO ONE (NAP) has made great strides this season without winning and can put that right. He was conceding 5lb to the winner when beaten less than a length in the Steward's Cup and can go one better.
