Verdict
Apache Pilot is fancied to give the form of HATTONS HILL a boost earlier on the card and Harry Hogarth’s improving novice should not be denied a four-timer. All three recent victories have come over course and distance and he seems oblivious to the state of the ground. Johnny Go was second off this mark over hurdles at Perth last week but is making his chasing bow. Inchcolm was second at Kelso earlier this month but is starting to look a little exposed and few of the others make much appeal on recent form with Dutch Canyon soon in trouble at Perth recently when favourite.
