Happy 100th Birthday Chepstow Racecourse 'Training Series' Apprentice Handicap Stakes (Apprentice Training Race - Part Of The Racing Excellence Series)

Be An Angel shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back and won three starts back, suggesting she retains the class to threaten here; she has experience over today's trip and conditions, and 135 lb is the chief concern.

Macanudo has run over today's trip and going, and his third last time out shows he can get competitive when conditions align; winless in his last five, the worry is whether he can sustain that level after a 36-day break carrying 133 lb.

Winless in his last six starts, Arnaz nonetheless rates the pick of this field on a speed figure of 68, and he returns quickly on a compact eight-day turnaround with experience of today's trip and conditions — the 132 lb burden from stall seven is the one query.

Ranked bottom on our figures and carrying 128 lb from stall 8, Marisitta has been largely out of the frame in recent starts — fifth last time out and only one win in her last six — though that victory two starts back and experience over today's trip and going offer slim encouragement.

Winless in his last five starts, with a ninth and eighth sandwiched around a lone second to show for recent efforts, Sundiata Keita is hard to fancy from stall 6 off a lofty 128 lb, though the return in 16 days and experience over today's trip and going offer slim hope.
