MARTIN DWYER can underline his reputation as one of the apprentice finds of the season with a double at Kempton tonight. The young jockey is unlikely to win the claimers' championship, riding principally for Ian Balding who is renowned for quality rather than quantity of winners.

He has too much ground to make up on Fergal Lynch and Dane O'Neill who have both been provided with stacks of winners by their respective trainers Reg Hollinshead and Richard Hannon.

But the favourable impression Dwyer has created can be gauged from the large number of outside rides he has picked up. Most of his 22 winners to date this year have come for trainers other than Balding, notably Conrad Allen for whom he has ridden seven winners and went very close to landing the Magnet Cup on Spirito Libro at York last month.

Allen provides him with another good chance at Kempton on Achilles Heel in the Irish Race Night Apprentice Handicap. Dwyer was on board when the gelding took a similar event at York in June by a most emphatic four lengths and again when his stamina gave way over an extended 13 furlongs at Newbury last time.

Achilles Heel did none too badly to finish fourth in the latter event and can resume winning ways now he returns to a mile and a half.

Bryn Palling is a trainer quick to spot an up-and-coming young rider and often took advantage of Jason Weaver's claim in his early days. He has snapped up Dwyer for Croeso Cynnes who has an excellent chance on his switch back to five furlongs in the Irish Post Handicap.
