Market to prove a valuable guide. It is interesting the Charlie Appleby team have continued with BY THE BOOK (1) who makes his first start for 540 days after creating a sizeable impression on debut at Haydock. Will have stall twelve and an absence to overcome. Could prove too smart for his rivals. JOLLY JACK TAR (2) finished third behind a subsequent multiple G1 winner when debuting before getting off the mark at Lingfield AW (1m2f) during February. Obvious danger representing the same owners. Recent Wolverhampton runner-up PLAGE DE HAVRE (8) brings the advantage of race fitness. UNIVERSAL STORY (14) rates next best.
