Track Radio On Digital & DAB Apprentice Handicap
Prediction Leader
Pay Attention (GB)
0%
Missed the break at Newbury (1m, good; in this first-time headgear combination) but still got to challenge Tilani and he's better off at the weights with that rival here; has missed three engagements in the last year on account of good to soft and soft ground.
Rest of field
Oman (IRE)
0%
Versatile ground-wise and he wasn't far off the principals last time at Lingfield (1m2f); hard to call him well handicapped but entitled to have some say.
Perfect Scoundrel (GB)
0%
Beaten between 6.5l and 11l in his three handicaps (1m2f-1m4f) and has only dropped 5lb; doesn't look a winner waiting to happen.
Somkiyr (FR)
0%
Won in France at two; modest hurdler for current team and hasn't been finding life all that easier back on the Flat.
Bizou (GB)
0%
Improved to win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) and followed up from the front at Wolverhampton (9.4f), albeit by the skin of her teeth; only 2lb higher so remains on a competitive mark, but slow ground hasn't looked ideal previously.
Platinum Prince (GB)
0%
Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races.
Look Back Smiling (IRE)
0%
Lost his way last autumn and, after changing hands for 9,000gns, he was out the back on stable debut at Bath (1m, good; fine on soft); potentially well handicapped but has enough to prove.
Trooper (GER)
0%
Five-time Flat winner in Belgium/Germany and could be glad to see the back of hurdles having offered nothing in that scene; current wellbeing is an issue but goes well with ease underfoot and cheekpieces go on; he'd be interesting if market vibes did bode well.
Tilani (IRE)
0%
Ex-Irish gelding who has only had four runs for Ian Williams and won the last two, 1m handicaps on good ground at Newbury and Yarmouth; had no penalty last time and now 6lb higher, but he's on a roll; has won on soft.
