Alderman
Alderman is a big, rangy three-year-old in
Richard Hannon's Wiltshire yard, and right now he sits in that curious space where potential matters more than results. From six races, he has not won — his record is two places and four finishes outside the first three — but there is something in the way Hannon talks about him that suggests the bare numbers do not quite capture what he sees. The trainer said after a recent run at Newbury that Alderman travelled well through the race and looked genuinely pleased with how he is progressing, noting that the colt is physically built to do something worthwhile. There is scope here — in his frame, his movement, and the trainer's evident enthusiasm.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His recent form reads as four-five-five-two-three-seven (most recent first), which means he has found the placings in three of his last six outings. A second place is always a moment worth noting, especially for a three-year-old still learning his trade. Hannon has mentioned the Derby in conversation, which tells you the ambition sitting in this horse's corner — though whether that will materialise depends entirely on what happens next. The yard itself is in good form, with 118 winners sent out this season, so Alderman is at least in hands that know how to train a winner.
He raced just over a day ago, so he is actively campaigned and clearly being aimed at something. Without a win yet, he needs to break through soon if he is to fulfil the promise Hannon clearly believes is there. The next few weeks will be telling.
