A wide-open apprentice handicap to finish off with sees many in with chances. Top-weight Our Fred bounced back to form last time and was unlucky in defeat while Le Meridien remains in good heart having found her level. Speed On has been frustrating to follow but gets another drop in class here. Shorts is an inconsistent type who cannot be backed with real confidence while at a bigger price Seven Springs could easily bounce back to form here with optimum conditions in his favour.
