Formscan  - APIARIST may well have finished closer at Newcastle last time had he not been hampered at a crucial point and the use of Jack Callan's 5lb claim gives him every chance of getting his head back in front. Eupator was denied a hat-trick of victories at Wolverhampton on his latest outing but remains capable of being in the mix. Others for the shortlist are Legal Reform and Tiger Crusade.
