        Verdict

        A tricky apprentice handicap to end the card and we will just side with Red Current, Garibaldi and Ruby Legend look to be the main rivals. The mount of young William Carson was an impressive winner last time out at Chepstow, beating Danehill Silver by a length after losing his place at the five furlong pole. It took great determination to get back up and he deserves to be followed again today. Garibaldi was also successful last time out, beating previous scorer Dechiper by a length and looks to a major threat. Meanwhile it is not easy to rule out Ruby Legend who also hit winning form in a decent event at Newcastle. River Deuce and Boppy's Pride have both been knocking on the door lately and can also go well but there was a lot to like about Red Current's victory last time and he can go in again.
