Race preview
THE CHANGING MAN arrives here on the back of a hat-trick and even a 9lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him today. That said, Apple Rock is also a progressive sort and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Go Chique and Time To Tinker are the pick of the remaining field.
