Supalite Tiled Roof Apprentice Training Series Handicap

Off time: 17:01 | Winning time: 1m 0.19s

(2)

Dapper Man^b⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Ben Sanderson| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| D

6/4

Has really clicked of late, making it four wins from last seven starts when winning at Nottingham a week ago. No guarantee that penalty will stop him given rate of progress.

Form: 441121

(4)

Foxtrot Knight⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Jane Elliott| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| D

7/2

Has generally held form since landing apprentice event at Pontefract in May, and conceded the winner first run when 1¾L second of 5 to Marnie James at Hamilton last time. Shouldn't be far away.

Form: 132842

(5)

Musharrif⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: G C O'Neill| T: D Carroll| OR: 69| D

5/2

Stepped up on efforts from earlier in the season when 1½L second of 7 to Dapper Man at Nottingham last time, and closely matched with that rival on revised terms.

Form: 55-7062

(6)

Teepee Time^b⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Elisha Whittington⁽²⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 58| CD

7/1

Not the most consistent, but produced a career best to spring a shock in a lady riders' event at Leicester last week, and can't be ruled out if carrying that form forward under a penalty.

Form: 08-4261

(3)

Toni's A Star²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Sophie Ralston⁽²⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| CD

12/1

Has dropped to a very competitive mark and wasn't disgraced on her penultimate outing, but below form again last time, and out of the weights in this contest.

Form: 923-645

(1)

Beau Mistral²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽²⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| D

33/1

Was in good form at the start of last year when she won three times, and best effort in a while when 2¼L third of 8 to Swanton Blue at Chepstow last time. More needed from out of handicap here.

Form: 8-60963

Forecasts

Dapper Man (6/4), Musharrif (5/2), Foxtrot Knight (7/2), Teepee Time (7/1), Toni's A Star (12/1), Beau Mistral (33/1)

Musharrif and DAPPER MAN are closely matched on revised terms after they met at Nottingham recently, but the latter is progressing well, and is fancied to defy his penalty. Foxtrot Knight was a bit unlucky at Hamilton last time, and looks best of the rest on balance.
