Blue Skies Above
Blue Skies Above is still searching for a first breakthrough after five races without a win or place. The 2-year-old, trained by
Oliver Cole at Whatcombe in Oxfordshire, has yet to show the finishing touch needed to get its nose in front, with recent runs bringing finishing positions of 5th, 9th, 10th, 5th and 8th. The most recent outing came just a day ago, so the horse is active and still being given opportunities to find its feet.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
At this stage, there is little to separate this horse from dozens of other young runners working through their early races. Cole's yard has sent out 8 winners this season, so there is proven training ability in the background, but Blue Skies Above has yet to benefit from that. The next few races will be crucial — some horses click quickly, while others need patience and time to mature before they start delivering results.
