One of the better served by the framing of this seller APACHE RIDGE gets the vote. Kevin Ryan's stable is in good form at present and with the pick also going well in handicaps recently he looks to have the edge. Daddy's Gift doesn't have to find much on these terms and is in good order after his cosy success in one of these races last time out. Trainer David Evans's does well in these and he has two in the line-up and Timeteam looks the best of his pair as on these terms should run a big race providing he recovers from a run on Friday, but Apache Ridge has far more compelling claims.
