Kings Apostle can make fitness count over Mr Loire, Satyricon and Jack Oliver. Kings Apostle had shaped with abundant promise as a juvenile, so it was no surprise when he was sent off as a warm order on his return to action at Lingfield a fortnight ago. He had little difficulty in opening his account that day and has been found what looks a suitable opportunity to make an immediate impact in handicap company. Mr Loire won well enough on his first start for Harry Dunlop at Wolverhampton, having left Roger Charlton, and this extra furlong will help his cause, so he can figure in the finish as well. Satyricon has responded well to the application of blinkers on his last three outings, having not been out of the frame, and he looks sure to give an honest account, while Jack Oliver will be all the better for his return to action here 10-days ago. Roodolph and Supa Sal could be anything, and only time will tell if that pair have trained on, so the percentage call has to be King's Apostle.
