The apprentices get their chance in the finale to the meeting with a couple of improving types facing some accomplished handicappers at this level. Born To Be Alive is inexperienced and makes his handicap debut but he should have more improvement in him and along with the progressive Fire Tree form a dangerous duo. Storm Ahead could finally get his ideal scenario with strong pace in this big field conditions that suit him ideally. Magic City and In The Red are another two to throw in the mix but this 1m1f trip may just test the stamina of both. You’re Hired sits towards the head of the market with a good record when fresh but BALMORAL CASTLE loves this C&D and apprentice races and off his last winning mark he’s the suggestion in this trappy finale.
