Always Bet Responsibly At BetVictor Apprentice Handicap
1m 2f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAn open-looking finale but there are grounds for siding with SEMPER AUGUSTUS who wasn't seen to best effect when set too much to do in a slowly-run, tactical affair at York last time. Ed Walker's gelding is only rated 4lb higher than when pouncing late to win over 1m here in June and has long suggested that a tilt at this 1m2f trip would be in his best interests. The consistent Shining Aitch was a solid third over C&D last time and should remain competitive along with Angels Roc who was arguably unlucky not to win from an identical mark when hitting traffic problems at Epsom last time.
