With Approval, whose last victory was on this track a year ago from 10lb higher, has had his last four starts here and though there were excuses for his last defeat he was well beaten on his previous visit. Alketios hasn't won for two years and does better on Polytrack while Turaathy's only success came at Chelmsford in December and she's been beaten a long way in three subsequent starts. Lawfilly is 0-16 and was beaten in a seller last time while DE VEGAS KID has had two starts more without winning, though was only beaten a neck over 7f here last month when staying on strongly. The latter may be good enough in a poor contest as though Lutine Charlie has been superbly placed to win nine times the latest was in a seller here last month.
