Dapper Man has gone close on Turf since scoring over track and trip in March with THE TRON back in third. But he’s 9lb higher now and the latter is taken to reverse running on much better terms today with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Snow Berry is back on the same mark as when successful on Turf last season while Apache Star has placed over longer trips at Wolverhampton the last twice.
