FormscanBy Tom Weekes - APRICOT ICE debuts in handicaps as a three-year-old against seasoned types but her form is strong and should better her 87 rating. She was well held in a Listed race as a juvenile but her form since is largely consistent and won when dropping to this distance last month, with the third-placed filly winning well on Wednesday. Red Letter Bray is ideally suited by this distance and is ground-versatile. He won at 100/1 on debut for new connections over course-and-distance last month but is 6lb higher. Lightly-raced Charlisse dropped down to this distance for the first time when being beaten just a nose over course-and-distance last month and should compete from 3lb higher, on just her third turf start.
An extended handicap for three years old and upwards (95 = 10st)Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
