Seadell Caravans "Hands And Heels" Apprentice Handicap (Part Of The Racing Excellence Series)

All runs for Mick Appleby have been on AW; nothing went right when third at Kempton (7f) two starts ago and good second at Chelmsford (7f) on Tuesday; 0-3 on turf but that record might be best ignored for now; respected.

Respectable fourth of 13 at Newmarket (7f, good), his first go on a sound turf surface, when last seen nearly a year ago; first-time cheekpieces worn that day are retained; might be the pace angle and market could be helpful on this return.

Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough.

Turf/handicap debut when coming home well to win here (good) in April but she flopped in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (also 7f, good to firm) 20 days later; vet found her to be lame afterwards and she's been off for the ten weeks since; cheekpieces removed; new trip should suit.

Landed a second Yarmouth win when scoring over 7f (good to firm) three weeks ago; 1m hasn't suited before but she still enters calculations.
