Verdict
Apache Glory has been raised another 5lb for finishing second last time having scored over track and trip before that. Lady Macduff is getting steadily closer as she slides down the weights and has claims along with Triple Eight, a runner-up at Newcastle on his recent return. Going Grey ran a shocker at Leicester in April though is only 2lb higher than his earlier win at Newcastle but Tribal Myth has a bit to find on last season's running at this track with course specialist SAINT THOMAS. The latter won for the fourth time over course and distance when dead-heating here last month and, after another good effort at Leicester, John Mackie's charge can go in again in this company.
