Narrative: Small-field 2m apprentice handicap that looks to revolve around No More Bolero, who is in cracking form for the in-form James Owen yard after a Bath win and good C&D second. Scottish Dancer defies a cold yard on the back of a winning return at Thirsk and the step back up to 2m should help. Trojan Soldier broke his maiden tag at Southwell and is interesting back on turf, while Rupert The Prince ran No More Bolero close over C&D and rates the main alternative. Marbuzet is a non-runner so removed from staking. Recommended: No More Bolero Bang in form for a 20%-strike Newmarket yard, won at Bath and finished a good second over C&D shortly after; the most reliable form line in the race. Alternative: Scottish Dancer Made all to win at Thirsk on Flat return, up only 2lb, and the return to 2m should bring further improvement despite the cold trainer profile. ============================================================================== Generated 2026-05-27 18:37 UTC · HorseRacingValue.com · race rac_11931426
