        tracked leaders, ridden to lead over 1f out, ran on well

        In depth

        Verdict

        Slingsby won here in October but has been beaten in three subsequent starts. Pretty Bubbles won at Lingfield earlier but never threatened when runner-up at Kempton last time, though has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause today. APROVADO scored over 5f here back in September but failed to figure at the track a fortnight ago on his first start since. He should be sharper for this and gets another chance having won over today’s longer trip on numerous occasions in the past. Tarboosh and Foresight should be winning again this year though both are returning from a lay-off today.
