Trained by Gavin Cromwell at his yard in Navan, Co. Meath, Bacharach is at least in capable hands. Cromwell's operation has sent out 96 winners already this season — that is a serious number, and it reflects a yard that knows how to place horses and get results. When a trainer is operating at that level, you tend to trust that the right race for a horse like this will eventually be found.
The recent form reads 14th, 2nd, then a pulled-up or fell last time out — working backwards from the most recent run. That sequence raises a question mark. Going from a placing to a non-completion is a step in the wrong direction, and with Bacharach having raced just yesterday, there will be plenty of attention on how it comes out of that latest run before any firm conclusions are drawn. Still winless, still young enough to improve, and with a trainer firing on all cylinders around it — the story is not over yet, but the next chapter needs to be a better one.
