Cambion Electronics 65 Years In Manufacturing 'Hands And Heels' Apprentice Handicap

Landed a two-length success at Yarmouth last time but largely did so without being tested too hard against modest opposition — revised mark looks like it demands more on that evidence. Effective 6-8f on a sound surface and trainer in decent form; first-time headgear (t) is a plus, but our figures put him well towards the bottom of the field.

Returning to winning form with first-time blinkers, My Boy Harry ran to form back up in trip when third most recently, three lengths off the pace from a 64 mark — 1lb lower here. He took a handicap at Lingfield three starts back with a bit in hand off a lower mark and looks ready to go close again if building on that; a key danger for our selection.

Out of sorts in recent starts with back-to-back poor efforts, Mariner did post a runner-up showing earlier in the year and is clearly capable enough when things go right — tongue-tie applied for the first time today. Probably best at 8-10f on a quick surface and today's conditions suit; the switch in headgear could prompt a bounce-back, though recent form makes it hard to be confident.

Returning after a 90-day break, Bajan Bandit ran well below form on his most recent start — that effort came over an extended trip and the mark has been easing since. Suited to 7-8f on the all-weather, this is his first start since that disappointing run and on his earlier turf form he can't be dismissed; the question is fitness having been off for three months.

Back after 141 days off, Mbappe was a bit keen in cheekpieces at Kempton last time and beaten four and a quarter lengths — the break since then is a significant unknown. Effective 7-8f on a sound surface and on a fair mark, but returning from a long lay-off and now sporting first-time headgear (p); too much to take on trust at this stage.
