APACHE OUTLAW (7.00 Chepstow, nap)
Trainer Ado McGuinness went close with this five-year-old at Galway last week and can go one better in this handicap over seven furlongs. The Welsh track has a fair bit in common with Ballybrit as they are both something of a rollercoaster ride with their undulations.
He was more than a little unlucky in Ireland last week when he was full of running turning for home but had to wait an eternity for a gap to open. By the time it did the winner had gone just too far clear.
But that was still an excellent effort and he comes here off the same mark of just 78. He was winning on the all-weather off 94 at Christmas so looks pretty well treated over a trip that suits.
DANGERMAN (7.15 Sandown, nb)
He really enjoyed dropping back to this distance for the Gosden’s last time and won going away. The fact he stays further is always a positive at Sandown and a 4lb rise in the weights is more than fair.
TADREEB (8.20 Sandown, treble)
Better known as an all-weather horse but went close in good company at Ascot on his turf return last time out. He finished strongly over the seven-furlong trip so this move up to a mile should pay dividends off a lowly handicap mark.
REGALLY BLONDE (5.15 Yarmouth)
Completes the Lucky 15. She has barely put a foot wrong this season and the handicapper has been fair with a 1lb rise for her neck second at Nottingham.
