Apache Song won at Market Rasen and Wincanton last season and can be forgiven her run in a Listed handicap at Cheltenham on her final start when she still finished ahead of Northern Beau. POTTERS MIDNIGHT ran well for a long way in a valuable handicap at Haydock after winning around here earlier. She’ll handle today’s quicker conditions and might be the one to beat. Mariah's Legend still needs further help from the handicapper but is preferred to Red Four and last year’s winner Amron Kali.
