Applebridge Group Handicap Stakes (GBBPlus Race)

Winless in her last five starts, Pinatique at least returns on a quick 13-day turnaround in fair condition, and her fourth last time out offers a shade of encouragement, though a rating of 83 leaves her with ground to make up on the principals.

Sax Appeal has been consistently placed, finishing third in three of his last four completed starts, and has run over today's distance and going before, giving him solid claims here; fifty-four days off is worth noting, though his profile makes him our preferred pick at 141 lb.

Sudu landed a win three starts back and returns after a 21-day break in good order, with experience of today's going working in his favour; the risk is that his last two outings have both been well below that winning level.

Talismans Time shaped with promise when third three starts back and returns here on a retrieval mission just 17 days later, having run over today's trip and going before; the main concern is that he remains winless in recent starts and must bounce back from two below-par efforts.

Mick Collins bolsters his claims with a win two starts back and goes on today's going, while our rating of 90 puts him clear at the head of this field; the concern is that seventh last time out leaves him needing to bounce back sharply.
