Sheldrake Training Limited 'Train An Apprentice' Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Newbury · 19:30 · Wednesday, 26 August 2026 · 1m2f · Good To Firm · Class 4

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with early pressure from the front-runners, though the draw and recent form suggest a tight shape, with Empirical and Livemore positioned to challenge early. Empirical stands out as the most consistent performer, having secured two wins in the last 30 days on Good to Firm going, with a strong RPR of 92 and a recent run where he pushed along over 1f out and led, showing resilience and forward movement despite a headgear change and a class drop. The main dangers are Edwin Hubble, who has shown form in recent starts with a strong RPR of 90 and a win at Sandown, and Guesstimate, who has made all in two of his last three runs and is a value at the forecast price with a solid RPR and recent improvement in position. Each-way appeal is present from Eagles Attire and Fans Favourite, both with recent form and headgear changes that could impact their positioning, while Island Bear, despite a recent weakening, remains a hard-to-oppose presence in the midfield.
