Ard As A Rock
Ard As A Rock is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the racecourse. After five outings, the horse has yet to break its duck, finishing outside the placings in all five races, though recent form suggests gradual improvement. In its last five runs, it has posted finishes of 8th, 4th, 4th, 9th, and 5th — a mixed picture, but with two fourth-place efforts that hint at progress. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is actively campaigned and getting plenty of opportunities to learn.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by David Evans at Pandy in Monmouthshire, Ard As A Rock is part of a yard in good form this season, with 37 winners already saddled. For a young horse still in single figures for race experience, a few decent placings are not unusual; many two-year-olds take time to understand what is being asked of them. Whether Ard As A Rock breaks through for that first win soon or continues to build experience will depend on how it progresses in the coming months. At least it is getting regular race time under its belt — and Evans's yard clearly believes there is enough there to keep running it.
