LSL Racing Horse Sales Syndication Leasing Apprentice Handicap

Sprang a surprise (66/1) when making a successful return to the Flat at Salisbury earlier this month, though the fast-finishing runner-up looked a bit unlucky, and he's probably worth opposing off 2 lb higher.

Bated Breath filly who proved her stamina for 1¼m when third at Leicester before nearly bagging a third career success at Bath (1m) last time. In fine heart and is entitled to go close if this significantly longer trip is within range.

Found a run of good form coming to a halt at Windsor last time, but she's only 1 lb higher than when notching a seventh career win at Lingfield in February and looks worth another chance in an easier race, with a promising apprentice taking over.

Both career wins have come over 14f at Wolverhampton. Shaped a shade better than the result (without troubling the front pair) when third over the same C&D last time and has at least proven effective on turf.

Reverted to his slow-starting ways when last of 6 on return at Leicester but is back on the same mark as when completing the final leg of a hat-trick over C&D in July.

Sole success came over 2m at Lingfield but she was below form over the same C&D on final run for Pat Phelan in January. Sold for 4,400 gns and needs a market check on just her second start in a turf handicap.

Front-running type followed a couple of sound runner-up finishes at Bath with a modest effort there on her latest start. Entitled to be in the mix if returning to the best of her form, though.

Maiden ran creditably on his first start in a turf handicap when fourth of 7 at Bath (1¼m), and while facing no easy task at the weights, he's well worth a try over the extra 2 furlongs.
