In depth

Verdict

OCEAN APPLAUSE wasn't unduly troubled to score by over three lengths at Yarmouth last week. A penalty may not be enough to prevent him going in again and he's preferred to easy maiden winner Captain Starlight, who scored over track and trip in January. Storming was beaten only a head at Ffos Las recently while On With The Dance went close at Windsor. Many The Nag has recorded both her wins on the Fibresand but Magique and Keep The Secret are not easily dismissed if rebounding from recent below par efforts.
