Betfred 'Bet Builder' Apprentice Handicap

4 of his 5 career victories have come at Brighton, proving as good as ever under positive tactics when winning 9-runner handicap there 10 days ago. Penalty offset by his 7-lb claimer, so he can remain competitive.

After 6 months off, landed a gamble on debut for this yard when making all at Lingfield (1½m) in April. Followed up in emphatic style at Kempton (11f) 3 weeks ago and he's not taken lightly back on turf for his hat-trick bid.

Back-to-back wins for Ed Dunlop last summer, including this same race. Ended 2025 on a low-key note (trained by Nigel Hawke last 2 outings) but encouraging seasonal/stable debut when third on the turf at Lingfield. Possibly unsuited by testing ground there last time, so he's not ruled out.

Close third on seasonal/stable debut at Lingfield (1¼m) in April and quickly left behind a lesser effort over 1m when winning 8-runner contest at Windsor at the start of June. Makes plenty of appeal with more still to offer for current yard.

Free-going type whose losing run is mounting up. However, has had only 4 starts for this yard and settled better in refitted hood when fourth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (7f) 12 days ago, shaping as if a step up in trip would suit in line with dam's side of pedigree.

Got off the mark for the year when rallying well in 3-runner contest at Windsor (11.4f) in May. Creditable fourth of 7 over the same C&D 16 days ago and she can give her running once more.

Sole success came on handicap debut in early 2025 when trained by Charlie Johnston. However, was placed in back-to-back Lingfield handicaps to start this year and left behind a couple of lesser efforts when third at Windsor in May. Back up in grade here, though.

Both of his wins have come on the all-weather at Lingfield this year, the latest in a minor event in March. Has found things tougher in handicaps back on turf the last twice, though.

Remains a maiden but made more impact than previously on turf when fifth of 13 in handicap at Brighton 22 days ago, despite racing freely. Will need to find more again as he returns to this higher level.
