Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Apprentice Handicap Stakes

Won last time out and returns quickly, racing again inside three weeks - a fitness edge worth noting. Has run over today's trip and going before, and the profile reads progressively; two blank efforts earlier in the sequence are the only blemish.

Bounced back to win last time out following a run of modest efforts, and quick to load again ten days later. Has run over today's trip and going before, though the placings before that success suggest the improvement needs confirming.

Form has cooled: a win five starts back, and a second six starts back, preceded a spell of fourths and an eighth. Has run over today's trip and going before, so the recent dip in form, not conditions, is the query here.

Yet to win in its last five starts, though rated the leading contender here on our figures and has run over today's trip and going before. A below-par eighth last time out, plus forty-one days off, is the obvious concern.

A win four starts back underlines the engine, and today's trip and going hold no fears having raced over them before. Two of its last five starts have ended unplaced, though, including last time out, so finding consistency is the main ask.
