Formscan - APPLES MOON was progressive last season and has continued in that vein of form with victories at Exeter and Wincanton. Nicky Martin's mare has a 5lb rise to contend with, but the manner of her performances suggest there could be more in the locker. Fellow hat-trick seeker Princess Keri went up 7lb after scoring at Ludlow in November, although Ned Fox's 5lb claim negates most of that. She has to be respected along with Looking As You Are, who may have found the ground too lively at Windsor.
