The recent form makes for mixed reading. The last six runs show finishes of 7th, 5th, 11th, 16th, and two non-completions before that, which tells you the horse is having some inconsistent moments. The 5th place finish hints at ability, but the heavier defeats suggest things are not quite clicking on a regular basis. At this stage of its career, that kind of up-and-down pattern is not unusual — three-year-olds are still developing, still learning the job, and often need time before everything falls into place.
Luke McAteer has been the regular partner in the saddle, the pair having raced together five times without a win between them. That is a frustrating stat for both horse and rider, though shared experience at least means McAteer knows this horse well. The question is whether familiarity will eventually turn into a breakthrough, or whether a fresh set of hands might spark something new. With The Holy Apostle having raced as recently as yesterday, clearly the yard — the trainer and team around the horse — still believe there is a race to be won somewhere.
