Racing Welfare Reminiscence Day Apprentice Handicap

In fine form since joining Iain Jardine, winning 3 times before being beaten only a short-head in a 12-runner event at Hamilton (5f) 8 days ago. Has form over this longer trip in Ireland and should be in the mix again.

Won 3 times in 2025, including at Newcastle (6f) in November. Good second at Chelmsford (6f) on her next start and had a viable excuse when down the field back at Newcastle when last seen (rider slow to remove blindfold). Returns from 146 days off here.

Yet to score since starting off for current yard last summer but has shaped as if working his back to form this year, unable to sustain his effort late on after racing freely when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Becoming well treated.

Ended losing run at Kempton (7f) in October. Exploits typically mixed since but posted one of his better efforts when runner-up back at that same C&D at the start of March, though unsurprisingly not in same form when last of 9 at Southwell later that month. Others more solid.

Lit up by first-time visor but wasn't disgraced when fourth at C&D on return. Looked even more of a difficult ride when ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Ripon (1m, good) 16 days ago, though, and he's opposable with headgear retained.

C&D winner whose sole win last season came at Musselburgh in August. Ended last season out of sorts and others are preferred back from 146 days off.

Four-time course winner (all at 6f) returned with a good third at this C&D. Not in same form when seventh of 9 (good to firm, 22/1) 19 days ago, so needs to bounce back.

Winner over both 6f and 7f at Wolverhampton last summer. Decent third there on second start this year but mid-field last 2 starts and others are preferred.

Placed 5 times on all-weather over the winter after joining this yard prior to good fifth in a big-field handicap (1m) at Doncaster. Looked ungainly when only fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago, perhaps not handling the track, and cheekpieces now go on.

Four-time C&D winner stepped up markedly on her return switched back to front-running tactics when third of 7 in handicap (11/4) at Ayr (7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Interesting back at Catterick and is now 5 lb below last winning mark

Won twice for this yard last year before finishing down the field in only 2 starts for Ian McInnes. Well backed and stepped up on his return when fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) 12 days ago, probably paying late for racing close to strong pace. High draw is a negative here.

C&D winner last summer who took a step back in the right direction when a never-nearer fifth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Musselburgh (7f, good) 12 days ago. Will need better again to land this with cheekpieces reapplied.

Three-time C&D winner ended last season in a lull but probably needed the outing when thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 16/1) 23 days ago.
