POPSICLE obliged here last week in an apprentice handicap under the same promising pilot and is taken to follow up with no penalty incurred for that course and distance success. She has found form of late after a modest streak of form and gets the nod ahead of Imbucato, in good form of late too and a ready winner at Brighton this month. He seems to have benefited considerably from wind surgery and rates a major danger. Princess Way is respected after making all to score at Lingfield the last day, whilst the likes of Madame Jo Jo and Smart Mover appeal as each-way options.
