David O'Meara has a very strong hand in this concluding apprentices' handicap courtesy of the the bang in-form duo Star Shield and Markazi who are assessed in order of preference. Tony Carroll is triple-handed, and his best chance of a winner is via the Darragh Keenan-ridden Poetic Force who was beaten by a neck in this race in 2018 (by Buzz Lightyere). However, in pursuit of value we'll elect to dig deeper and side with the well handicapped BREANSKI who looks poised to strike for the Leyburn handler Jedd O'Keeffe. He sits a noteworthy 9lb lower than when finishing a close-up ninth of 20 in a Class 2 7f handicap here last September.
