Celebrate With Sponsorship At Southwell Racecourse "Confined" Apprentice Handicap

Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when runner-up five consecutive times (once here) over 6f in September-January, and last month's 5f fourth at Chelmsford came in a slightly better race than this; worth persisting with over this trip.

Veteran with 14 wins on his CV; kept on for third when dropped back to 5f at Newcastle 12 days ago but is inconsistent nowadays and younger rivals appeal more.

Consistent 7yo who kept on from the rear for third under James Glennon at Chelmsford (5f) in February, after a layoff; has never run here before but has form on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; can make his presence felt.

Won twice over C&D last year and came second twice over C&D last month; needs to rebound from a disappointing run ten days ago but he's largely consistent and features prominently in calculations.

0-12 overall but has made the frame on the last three of his four starts for Tony Carroll, most recently when fourth at Lingfield (5f) last month; also suited by Tapeta and continues to edge down the weights; considered.
