£9 Racedays At Nottingham Racecourse "Hands And Heels" Apprentice Classified Stakes (Part Of Racing Excellence)
Verdict Myna is our selection, preferred to the higher-rated Charencey on a more progressive profile through his recent starts. Charencey, narrowly ahead on our figures, and Nymphaea, below-form last time out, both look the main dangers, with Hello Garda also open to include after his latest efforts. Confidence is low in a moderate contest, but Myna's overall picture edges it.

The form has flattened lately, so continued frustration is the obvious risk for this leading contender.

Quick to reappear just six days on over today's trip and going, but hard to fully trust that upturn.
