      Verdict

      An apprentice's allowance will prove useful to Repetition as he's now 10lb higher than when scoring over track and trip last month. But the same can be said of BASINGSTOKE. Simon Hodgson's charge has an 11lb hike to contend with after beating Tartan Trip, rated 80, four lengths in a seller at this venue last time. But he may not have finished improving yet and has superior course form to both Silly Billy and Queen Of Skies. Patriotic drops in class after a couple of outings and the Polytrack and the previous course and distance winner could go well.
