HORSTED KEYNES landed a hat trick of victories on Polytrack when scoring at Lingfield last week. He looked value for more than his narrow half-length win and Roger Varian's charge can continue his good progress in this. Chookie Royale remains in fine form and went close to recording a treble over a mile at this track last time, but it's anybody's guess which Common Touch will turn up, given he's been well beaten either side of winning at Ascot. Apostle came good over course and distance having tumbled down the weights and is fancied to confirm running with Ocean Legend despite today's revised terms.
