        Verdict

        This is a decent looking apprentice handicap and we will take a chance on Considine, with Bienheureux and Moldavia just two of many dangers. James Eustace's colt improved throughout last summer, culminating in an excellent fourth behind leg spinner in a better class event at Kempton. If he handles this surface he will be very hard to beat. Moldavia was most impressive when landing a maiden at Southwell last month and although he has disappointed in a couple of runs over hurdles, he is of interest back on the flat. Bienheuireux doesn't know how to run a bad race and put up another decent display at Lingfield last time behind Lennel. He is well suited by this course and distance and should figure in the finish again today. Alpine Special returns from a break but could go well at a decent price, but, in a very open affair Considine is given a tentative vote
