Bearish

The pattern that stands out is his preference for normal ground. On standard conditions, Bearish has won two of three races (a 67% win rate), which is genuinely impressive and suggests he may struggle when the track becomes either very wet or very fast. That's useful information if you're watching his next entry, because trainers and owners tend to remember these things.

Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard has been busy this season—39 winners already—so Bearish is operating in a competitive environment where improvement is expected. His first career win came at Thirsk in April, and he then struck again at Ayr in July, but it's now been eight weeks since that last victory. At three, with just six races under his belt, Bearish is still very much a work in progress. The early signs suggest a horse capable of winning again, but he'll need to tighten up his consistency between those better days.
