      Verdict

      Mark Johnston's Annapolis is open to plenty more improvement and can take this nursery, with Lesley's Choice perhaps the most serious danger. Annapolis has shown some improvement over three runs so far, making the frame on each occasion. Thsi trip looks ideal for now, and his sire acted well with cut in the ground, so he can get off the mark this time. Lesley's Choice has more experience and did win a maiden at Southwell a couple of starts ago. He was tried in better company at Haydock last time but this is more his level and he does act on softer ground so won't be far away. Fitzolini is being brought along steadily by Alan Brown and conditions and trip look fine for him, so he could make the frame, the ground also suits Alphabeth, though he looks like he needs the handicapper to cut him some slack, and preference here is for top weight Annapolis.
