Epsom Downs Race 1

Betfred 'Bet Builder' Apprentice Handicap

Stake: $16,937

BOBACIOUS (2) provided best eighteen days ago in this handicap grade scoring by 1L attempting the journey at Leicester. Ticks plenty of boxes. ANNEXATION (3) showed ability last Friday finishing a neck second among this company tackling this trip at Doncaster. Rates highly. TEX (1) produced a good 2.25L fourth contesting a similar graded 2000m handicap at Newbury. Open to further improvement. EARLY MORNING DEW (4) is a previous course and distance winner who holds claims.
