Betway Casino Apprentice Handicap

Well handicapped on best form but doesn't appear the horse he was, and although he went close over this trip in January it was only a claimer. Easily enough brushed aside latest despite having run of race, and now blinkers tried. Risky.

Three wins in 28 starts, seems to get this trip but does now need to bounce back from a poor effort last time out. Drop in grade will help and it's possible he could hit the frame for a yard that's had a decent winter.

In good form at present and despite a slow start, almost made all over C&D last time out. Needs to be on his mettle at the start as he can't afford to miss the break from stall 10, but clear chances if getting away on terms.

Hard to win with, has first starts for new yard here but the change of scenery will need to have a big turnaround in his fortunes. Trip fine but others readily preferred.

Just three wins in 40 starts, so no win machine, but does at least come here in decent form after not being beaten far at Kempton on his last two starts. Stays this trip fine but stall 12 is of no help to him at all.

C&D winner here two starts ago, getting there in the nick of time, found it a bit harder off 3lb higher last time but still ran with credit and if they go quick up front, it'll help his chances late in the day here.

Regular around here and pops up from time to time, poor at Doncaster at the weekend but this surface suits him better and he could bounce back. Stall 2 possibly not ideal for one that likes to come late, though.

Running well at present, made all to score over 12f here in February but has run just as well over 10f last two starts. Caught late on last week but is once again drawn to attack from the front and has to be considered.

Sprang a 66-1 surprise when successful over C&D in December but that was a slowly run affair and since then, has finished well beaten at Kempton. Hard to go overboard about her chance here.

Got home by a neck at Wolverhampton in February but hasn't followed that up and was easily brushed aside at Kempton when last seen. Has a C&D win to his name but clearly inconsistent and therefore risky here.
