Newbury Race 7 - Sheldrake Training Limited 'Train An Apprentice' Hcp (Gbbplus Race)
LIVEMORE (3) created a good impression when landing a Newmarket novice by 4.25L last month (1600m). That represented a huge step forward from the debut effort. Warrants plenty of respect now into open company. EDWIN HUBBLE (2) managed to take advantage of a small field event at Sandown (2000m) getting off the mark three weeks ago. Blinkers worn there are retained and holding ability could be in the mix. EMPIRICAL (1) hasn't always looked the most straightforward but scored for the second successive occasion up to this trip at Ayr last time. Must scale new heights now from a revised rating. GUESSTIMATE (8) is another to consider on recent evidence.

Returns from a 48-day let-up. Most recently faded in the straight 6th of 8 at Doncaster on July 9 over 2000m, 5.5 len behind Room Fourteen with 58kg at $23. The run before that 4th of 7 at Chepstow on June 6 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Poetry Of Time carrying 61kg at $9. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
