Nottingham Race 7 - Safer Gambling With Betano Apprentice Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Simply with the benefit of a recent run GENTLE WARRIOR (1) is preferred. Rarely out of the frame throughout last campaign though was never quite in the hunt on return at Musselburgh. Promising apprentice booked. Likely chance. RUSSIAN RUMOUR (2) can provide stern opposition. Enjoys the venue and worth noting he won this very contest on reappearance in 2024. Rates a main danger. DINO BELLAGIO (3) was quietly progressive last season securing a good 5L victory at Chester the highlight in September (heavy). Could go well. RED DEREK (4) remains without success for some time. This could turn tactical and be in the mix.
