APPIER debuts on the Polytrack having completed a double at Beverley last month. Harry Davies’ allowance negates most of a rise in the weights and another bold bid is expected. Rochebrune finished in front of Kangeroo Jack when fourth at Bath while both Kharshuf and Martha Edlin have only their second outings in handicaps and may improve. Nazimova takes a big step up from 7f but is bred for middle-distances.
