Apprentice Handicap | Hurdle | 2m 4f 139y
Little Ledgend
LITTLE LEDGEND didn't quite last home over a longer trip here in February and is fancied to make amends on return. Knacker Trapper went close at Kelso last time and should be thereabouts again, while Estacas looks interesting on just his third start for a new yard.

Maiden who has hit the frame on all 4 handicap starts, latest when looking like the winner before tying up late over a longer trip on soft ground here (23f) in February. Worth a go in a first-time tongue strap on that evidence and may well make a winning return.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 7f 16ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/9Taunton2m 3f 1yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/13Lingfield Park2m 3f 110ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/6Windsor2mGood to SoftHurdle4/9Fontwell Park2m 1f 162yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/10- 5Bunker BayJ: Joshua ThompsonT: Micky Hammond/3328-1Age 7SP11/43/1

Fair middle-distance Flat winner who enhanced a good course record when opening his hurdles account in a 17f handicap here last time. That's reasonably solid form for the grade and he looks well worth a try over this longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 125yGoodHurdle1/7Perth2m 47yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/14Market Rasen2m 125yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/9Market Rasen2m 125yGood to SoftHurdle3/6Newcastle1m 4f 98yStandardFlat6/8- 3EstacasJ: Luke ScottT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole8-2Age 9SP10/33/1

Came on considerably for his first run back from a long absence when runner-up at Worcester last time, shaping nicely behind one who was thrown-in, and is still well treated on the best of his old form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2m 4fGoodHurdle2/7Stratford-on-avon2m 2f 148yGoodHurdle8/13Kempton Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle8/10Ascot2m 3f 58ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle8/11Sandown Park2m 50yGoodFlat6/6- 6Knacker TrapperJ: William MaggsT: Andrew Crook5732-92Age 8SP6/113/2

Went mightily close to ending a long losing run in a competitive handicap for the grade at Kelso last time, and while up 2 lb for that effort, he's still on a handy mark and should go well again.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 4f 189yGoodHurdle2/12Hexham2m 7f 63yGoodHurdle9/15Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/11Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle3/15Wetherby2m 3f 154ySoftHurdle7/13- 4Born Like MeJ: Oscar PalmerT: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith5640-5Age 5SP14/112/1

Showed ability in maidens, and while he fared little better than on handicap debut when well-held fifth of 10 at Hexham on return from 5 months off, the handicapper has at least offered some respite.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHexham2m 4f 28yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/10Catterick Bridge2m 3f 66yGoodHurdle14/14Sedgefield2m 178ySoftHurdle4/9Market Rasen2m 125yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/8Sedgefield2m 178yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/5- 2Roxboro RiverJ: Paddy HanlonT: John Joseph Hanlon, IrelandPP40-74Age 7SP12/111/1

Ran up to his best back over the C&D of his sole win when fourth of 10 at Stratford (22f) last time, though he was well positioned, and this looks a better race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 6f 7yGood to Firm (Good in places)Hurdle4/10Downpatrick2m 5f 180yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle7/15Clonmel2m 7fYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle11/15Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 7yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle4/6Uttoxeter3m 10yGoodChasepu/9- 7ZuulJ: Ellis CollierT: Rebecca Menzies493P4-3Age 8SP12/111/1

Long-standing maiden who went closest to breaking his duck when runner-up over C&D in the summer of 2024, and he did run well when third in a strong race for the track at Cartmel on his return last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel2m 6f 31yGoodHurdle3/11Sedgefield2m 5f 28yGoodChase4/6Perth2m 4f 20yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/7Uttoxeter2m 4fGoodChase3/9Hexham2m 4f 28yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle9/15
