Going - Good to Firm. 
View all races Draw Analysis Result Odds Compare

Formscan  - Apple Of My Eye is interesting after keeping on into fourth at Lingfield over 6f, and a mark of 63 seems fair enough ahead of her handicap debut. Manton Road won four times on the all-weather earlier in the year and is gradually slipping back down the handicap, but APPLE'S ANGEL is the pick. She kept on well to win at Lingfield over 5f and, if she gets the extra distance, she looks well weighted off a mark of 51 and with Jack Callan claiming 7lb.
