Errigal Lad, the one to consider in Dulux Apprentice Handicap at Doncaster
There are a few very good contestants around, but still Errigal Lad is the one to consider in the class 6 Dulux Apprentice Handicap, to be held at Doncaster on Thursday, July 19th.
On good to soft, fifteen quality runners will pursue a cash prize of £1,617. According to the preset plan, the 5-furlong meeting will be started at 18:20 GMT.
Despite the fact that Errigal Lad is not in winning mood these days, it is hard to overlook his chances. At the start of last month, Garry Woodward’s trainee grabbed a shocking victory at Nottingham, where the 40-1 chance beat Prodigality by a neck's distance
in the Play Big Money totejackpot At totepool.com Handicap.
After a classy win, he kept doing well, but remained unlucky. Consequently, the Mrs Elisabeth Cash-owned missed the top spot by a length’s distance in the Magners Handicap (Div II).
After making a couple of brilliant outings at Nottingham, the 7-year-old travelled to Beverley, but could not carry on in the same fashion. As a result, he ended up fifth in the tyregiant.com Sprint Handicap.
The punters should not judge him on his recent show, because the ground was a bit hard last time. With favourable conditions, he has a very good chance of delivering a winning performance today.
The main danger is Another Citizen, who was runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. After an unlucky outing at Hamilton, Tim Easterby’s trainee unchained the shackles, and ran wonderfully last time.
Since luck did not smile on him that day, he missed the crown only by a head’s distance. His confidence is at a high at the moment, but the conditions are slightly more testing at Doncaster.
Supporting Belinsky will not be a good idea. The 5-year-old is in awful form since winning a close battle at Kempton at the start of this year. In his latest appearance at Beverley, the Julie Camacho-trained was fourth before Bond Fastrac.
The conditions are going to favour Errigal Lad. So, the punters should not be reluctant to put their money on him, despite the fact that he was unable to produce a positive result last time. Good luck to all the runners.
