Benefits For ROA Members Apprentice Handicap

Acts on any ground with good in the description. Consistent performer at this sort of level, and ran well from this mark last time out in September. Record when fresh offputting, however.

Been in good form over hurdles, winning two, since we last saw him on the Flat in August. Has dropped 2lb in this code since then and may now be able to kick on again in this code.

Scored on his final start for Roger Curtis at Wetherby (1m6f, good to firm) last June. 4lb higher here, and returns from a break needing improvement. Record when fresh so far not encouraging either.

Firm ground winner at Bath (1m3f) last year, and followed up on AW (1m6f) when 6lb lower. That was for Charlie Hills, but she now resumes for John Quinn after changing hands for 27,000gns in the interim. Interesting and worth a market check.

Reeled off a four-timer over 1m2f on good/fast ground last summer, the last of them when 1lb lower. Kept ticking over in the other code with no semblance of success, but could be a danger now back in this sphere.

Multiple National Hunt winner who is 1-5 in this code. Scored over 1m6f (good to firm) at Carlisle last July, and returns to this sphere on a very competitive mark. Claims.

Dual winner here, including over this trip. Acts on good to firm, though best efforts so far have been on good or slower. Goes well when fresh and is open to improvement, so makes the short-list here.

On a 13-race losing run since scoring from 3lb higher at Newbury (good to firm) last July. Badly out of sorts in two recent outings, and much more needed.

Multiple AW winner who has yet to repeat that on turf. Others preferred.
