Epsom Downs Race 1

Betfred 'Bet Builder' Apprentice Handicap

Stake: $17,093

A Joe Leavy claim negates the small rise in weights GISELLES DEFENCE (1) received for finishing second when tackling this trip at Leicester recently. Appears to hold solid claims. DAISY ROOTS (6) was a good runner-up at Brighton (1600m) two starts ago. Must be considered on just her third outing over this distance. MREMBO (5) went well both starts at this venue and is nicely weighted. SILVER NIGHTFALL (2) could feature if ready making stable debut.
