Wrath Of Hector returned to winning ways at Southwell last week and is penalised while Nordic Fire finished second over a mile here recently looking to end a long losing run. Oriental Lilly is usually in the mix in similar company and is preferred to Insurplus but UNAPOLOGETIC (NAP) has the most scope of these. Richard Fahey’s filly was beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton despite being hampered early in the race and then having to be switched for a clear run in the closing stages and she can confirm running with Bobby Joe Leg in the process of going one better.
