2-4 in handicaps; denied clear run when third last time; probably still improving

Disappointed last time and now 0-8 but earlier efforts make him of interest here

0-8 now but kept on well for close second here (1m3f) three weeks ago; shortlisted

Went close under bold front-running ride two starts ago; latest run perfectly respectable

On a losing streak but can't be ruled out off new career-low mark
5 (11)	Appier b J:Robert Havlin T:S Woods	J:Robert Havlin T:S Woods	140	h	-73255	76	86	67	22d	—	—	+6	11.3	16/1 6%
On a good mark and has conditions to suit but his very slow starts are a big drawback

Made low-key reappearance on turf last month but 1m4f on Tapeta suits him well; a possible

Three-time Tapeta winner in Dec/Jan; probably needed recent (turf) run; one to consider
6 (8)	Real Terms b J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	J:Oliver Stammers T:Grant Tuer	139	—	46428-	75	80	-	285d	—	—	+8	10.5	40/1 2%
