What the record does show is consistency of a kind. Finishing 4th, 7th, 4th, and then 3rd in its most recent race suggests a horse that is finding its feet and perhaps starting to put things together. That seventh was a wobble, but the bounce back to third last time out is encouraging — it ran into the places, which at least means it belongs at this level.
The stable behind Barrister is no small operation. Richard Hannon, based in Herridge in Wiltshire, has had 118 winners already this season — that is a yard firing on all cylinders, one of the most productive in the country. When a trainer of that volume sends a horse out repeatedly, it usually means they believe there is a race to be won somewhere. Barrister hasn't found it yet, but it is in the right hands to do so.
