        Verdict

        Golden Apollo is never one to dismiss lightly but is passed over on this occasion with the going likely to be quick enough. Nurseclaire was beaten in a Leicester claimer but GIOGIOBBO beat two rivals here nine days ago and Scott Dixon’s inmate is still on a decent mark. Mark Walford has unlocked some of the potential of It Just Takes Time and the the four-year-old should have no problems on the prevailing going while As If By Chance has already picked up two wins this term but is probably best over sprint distances.
