Richard Fahey has won three of the last four runnings of this apprentices' handicap, including with ZIP in 2020 and 2022 and the eight-year-old returns to Town Moor on a lower mark than for both of those victories. He shaped well when third behind Onemorenomore here a fortnight ago and the winner doesn't have the assistance of Billy Loughnane this time, but he does reoppose on similar terms. Stanage was an easy winner of a maiden over this trip at Chelmsford last time and boasts sound double claims on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Zip 2nd Onemorenomore 3rd Stanage

FAHRENHEIT SEVEN is very interesting in the second division of this 7f apprentices' handicap. Having recorded a quick-fire sprint double in July, Mark Usher's gelding looked crying out for further when powering home over 6f at Epsom last time and there could be much more to come from the unexposed three-year-old. However, if a 6lb rise and a 121-day layoff catch him out here, then Beauty Choice could be the one to pounce, as he returns to a winning trip on the back of some good efforts in defeat over shorter. Capote's Dream is another to consider after a near-miss over 6f at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Fahrenheit Seven 2nd Beauty Choice 3rd Capotes Dream

A 260,000gns yearling who is a half-brother to four winners, HUMAM showed good speed for a long way before weakening into third over 7f at Newmarket first time out. With that recent experience under his belt and the drop in trip likely to suit, Andrew Balding's colt is preferred to So Darn Hot, who has got closer to the target with each of his three starts and only went down by three-quarters of a length over 5f at Yarmouth last month. My Mate Beattie has also shown ability in her four outings and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Humam 2nd So Darn Hot 3rd My Mate Beattie

ZOUM ZOUM appeared to appreciate the drop back to 6f when running out a ready winner over this track and trip last month and, with forecast underfoot conditions set to suit, he gets a tentative vote for the red-hot Ralph Beckett team. Course winner Room Service was far from disgraced when finishing runner-up in a hot York handicap over 6f last month and he looks the main danger to the selection. Russet Gold and Ramazan are a couple of others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Zoum Zoum 2nd Room Service 3rd Russet Gold

This may prove to be a good opportunity for NAD ALSHIBA GREEN to return to winning ways. The daughter of Dark Angel finished a close-up third behind two useful types in a Haydock nursery latest and, off an unchanged mark with her sights lowered, she looks the one to be with. Priapos remains unexposed in this sphere and it would be no surprise if he were able to build on recent form, while I Need Your Love is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Nad Alshiba Green 2nd Priapos 3rd I Need Your Love

14:35 Doncaster

STRIKE RED wasn't disgraced in the Ayr Gold Cup on his penultimate start, before impressing when landing the spoils in a competitive York handicap over this trip last time. Upped 6lb, this thriving sprinter gets the vote to bring up a double. Irish raider Two Stars arrives on the back of a comfortable victory over 5f at the Curragh recently and he commands respect upped in trip under a 5lb penalty. Recent C&D third Eye Of Dubai is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Strike Red 2nd Two Stars 3rd Eye Of Dubai

15:10 Doncaster

DANIELLE bounced back to form when chasing home a highly-rated gelding in the St Simon at Newbury two weeks ago and a repeat of that form back against her own sex would make her hard to beat. Diamond Rain has not been seen since disappointing in the Ribblesdale but her previous Listed success was impressive and she remains unexposed. Treasure should relish conditions and edges out Estrange and Albany to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Danielle 2nd Diamond Rain 3rd Treasure

VALVANO caught the eye when third to the subsequent Listed winner Bolster on his handicap debut over 1m2f at York last month. The son of Night Of Thunder may improve now stepped up in trip and could prove well handicapped. The consistent Stressfree finished a place in front of the selection at York but may not be able to confirm the form on these terms. Master Builder and Minstrel Knight are other progressive three-year-olds to consider, while Oneforthegutter and Chillingham boast each-way claims.
Prediction : 1st Valvano 2nd Stressfree 3rd Master Builder
