Based

The recent form tells a story of a horse that is competitive but not quite breaking through. In the last six races, Based has finished outside the first three only twice, which suggests it belongs in the races it is running in. That solitary win at Wolverhampton, though, remains the highlight. It is the kind of horse that has the ability to find the frame but needs everything to align to get its head in front. Being trained by William Knight at Newmarket — a yard that has sent out 28 winners this season — gives Based the kind of professional operation behind it that knows how to get the best out of its runners. That Based was raced just a day ago shows it is being kept active and its trainer still sees potential in finding another win.
