Accomplice gained her fifth course victory early this month but a 4lb rise takes her on to her highest ever mark. Apex King changed stables and ran a fine race for new connections at Wolverhampton last month when staying on strongly after missing the break. He won over the track and trip in the summer and looks certain to go well but GAVI DI GAVI had been threatening to win for some time before easily landing a Wolverhampton handicap last week. He has a 5lb penalty to carry but will be very difficult to beat, though Lottie Marie was having just her second start for new connections when landing a Chelmsford handicap and a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run.
