        Verdict

        These handicaps for apprentices are tricky to unravel, especially when every runner has scored over the trip. BOSUN BREESE shoulders plenty of weight but he's been competitive in better races this term, primarily when runner-up to Lost In Paris in a keenly-contested Musselburgh handicap on his penultimate outing. He runs off the same mark here and is preferred to Sharp Shoes who goes well for Laura Barry and is forgiven his latest effort when ruining his chance with a tardy stalls exit. He has every chance if back in the form that saw him land successive Hamilton handicaps in May. Scarlet Rocks is a possible against her elders, whilst Your Gifted is respected but does need everything to drop his way.
