Verdict
NATIVE APPEAL is penalised for last month’s success at Kempton but the Godolphin colt beat a horse rated 101 and that looks stronger form than Three Weeks’ victory at Lingfield. Charlie Appleby’s charge is worth sticking with in this given Danzay drops back in distance on the back of going close over 1m2f at Chelmsford and Holy Shambles was due to run at Kempton yesterday.
