An Apprentice Handicap rounds off the card where BILLBERRY seems to have solid enough claims and is given our confidence instead of Tudor Prince and Royal Envoy. Partnered by rising star William Carson the pick is looking to go one better than he did last time when finding a decent sort just too good. Racing off the same mark but stepping down in class he should go well. Tudor Prince is now rated four pounds above his last winning mark but he has been running well under his current burden. He also seems to enjoy himself at this venue and we expect at least a challenge for the prize money. Royal Envoy also has a decent strike rate at this track and is now back to a much more manageable rating so he should also figure while Rosie Says No's last run was too bad to be true and she is another to throw into the mix. A competitive end to the day where Billberry should come out on top.
