Difficult to call this apprentice handicap but we'll select Brouhaha and nominate Balerno and Tough Love as other possible contenders. The case for the selection is not obvious at first glance as he was beaten a long way on his reappearance at Bath over ten furlongs and has yet to make the frame on turf. Indeed, it's not all that obvious on second glance but he was having his first run for a new yard that day and was a big morning gamble and didn't run too badly until his stamina gave way. Balerno is a consistent sort who looks to hold a decent chance as he's in the right grade and not too badly treated. Tough Love has many more questions to answer as he has been beaten a long way on each of his last two starts. The handicapper's given him a chance though and he's worth a market check as is Split The Wind but we'll take Brouhaha to recoup last time's losses.
