Racing To School Haydock Park Training Series Apprentice Handicap Stakes (Part Of The Racing Excellence Series)

No Knee Never won six starts back and has stayed competitive since, with thirds and fourths in between and today's trip and going both already covered. Rated 72 to top this field on a 21-day break, though unplaced last time out.

Popeye Doyle was second three starts back and is quick to reappear, 12 days on, with today's trip and going already covered. Rated 69, he's yet to win in this sequence, but the placed effort underpins him as our pick.

Tees George finished third last time out, having won four starts back, with today's trip and going both covered 19 days on. An eighth three starts back is the outlier in an otherwise fairly consistent recent sequence.

Bay Dream Believer won three starts back but the last two efforts have been modest, sixth then seventh, and she rates the lowest of this six on 57. Today's trip and going are already covered, 18 days after her latest run.

Sceptic won two starts back, and was second three starts back, but he finished ninth last time out and is back after a lengthy 34-day break. Today's trip and going are already covered, though he rates only 59 in a six-runner field.
