What makes that result more encouraging is who is doing the training. Harry Charlton operates out of Beckhampton in Wiltshire, one of the more storied training bases in British racing, and his yard has sent out 38 winners already this season — a number that tells you this is not a stable that wastes time running horses that aren't ready. When a Charlton horse shows up, it tends to be fit and prepared. The fact that Besieged ran just one day ago and is considered active suggests the yard — sorry, the team — are not hanging around. There is clearly an appetite to get back out there and go one better.
With only a single race to judge, the profile is understandably short on history. But that second place is a foundation, and in the hands of a trainer firing at this rate, Besieged looks like a horse worth watching as the season develops.
