Arthur's Sixpence

The recent form tells a slightly mixed story. A runner-up finish earlier in his last four races showed he can get close, and a third suggests he isn't disgracing himself, but a couple of runs where he failed to place at all keep the picture frustratingly incomplete. With his most recent race coming just nine days ago, he is clearly in an active spell, and his the yard will be hoping that more racing brings more answers.

At 12, the honest truth is that the window for a first win is narrowing. But horses have surprised people before, and the fact that he keeps getting placed means he hasn't given up on himself. Sometimes that's enough to keep watching.
