In depth

Verdict

Apterix boasts a decent level of form and was second over track and trip in December before getting off the mark at Fakenham last month. This will be a more searching test of his credentials, however, with Irish raider Idlewild respected as he'll have needed last month's run at Downpatrick. VENUE (NAP), who won three of his four starts on the level, was only beaten a neck on his hurdling debut at Catterick and impressed when beating Apterix's stablemate Gone Forever over track and trip next time and can improve again to land this.
