      Verdict

      APATITE (NAP) won at Newcastle before beaten only a length in Class 3 company at Southwell and is still improving. She’ll go close back at this lower level and is preferred to Woke Media. The latter won over 7f at Southwell last month but Host came up short back in maiden company last time and Mercurius Power makes his handicap debut having failed to threaten at Kempton in a first-time tongue-tie. Livia The Empress and Roman Mist will need to dig a bit deeper in this higher grade.
