APPRECIATE has been raised 15lb over hurdles having won four times since last seen on the Flat back in April. He’s potentially well handicapped back under this code so gets the vote. Eagle One finished second again at Windsor last time but Lexington Knight was beaten less than a length when third at Leicester and makes more appeal. Janus has also been thereabouts lately and should be in the mix again.
