PRIME CIRCLE escapes a penalty for last week's C&D win in an apprentice race under today's jockey. This is no tougher so a similar effort could see him follow up and he gets the nod. Yellow Printer has been placed on the Polytrack recently, while Poppy Golightly is now back on a winning mark and finished third here last time. Appyjack has been running well over a longer trip at Kempton and Hilbre Court could figure if fully tuned-up for his first race of the year.
