Newmarket Race 7 - Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM 'Hands And Heels' Apprentice Handicap
WRYDCROFT (1) resumed in flying form winning both starts so far this campaign. That made it four wins from the last five starts. Particularly impressive when gaining a 1L success at Doncaster last time and this rapidly progressive gelding will prove hard to beat once more. TEX (2) placed past four starts and looks overdue a victory. Running 0.5L second at Leicester reads as strong form and could only improve upon that now. Key player. MICKEY MONGOOSE (8) showed a great attitude when a 0.5L winner at Southwell. Switch back to turf no issue and rates a big chance of going back to back. DASHING DONKEY (7) is fairly weighted on best form. Potential threat to all.
