APPLEBY TO ADD TO GROUP RACE TALLY

14:25 Newmarket

The locally trained Lazuli made a positive return to action when third at Meydan and comes back to the UK in hope of capturing another Group 3 success. He should strip fitter for his last effort, hails from a yard who are in blistering form and all things point towards another group race success.

Come From The Dark needs to step up on what he’s shown so far however proved he was worth a shot at this level after finding his head in front last time out. Ed Walker has previously trained horses to win at this level and shouldn’t be readily discounted with Hollie Doyle booked for the ride.

Of the remainder, Garrus shouldn’t be far away, Judicial has the class and proven record and former course and distance winner Arecibo looks a tad overpriced.

LAZULI (WIN)
