Border Gem
Eight races in, and Border Gem is still looking for that elusive first win. The five-year-old has managed two placed finishes from those eight attempts — enough to show there is some ability there, but not yet enough to get its nose in front. It has been 89 days since its last run, so it returns here after a short break, which can sometimes sharpen a horse up.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The record at Class 4 level tells a similar story: five races, no wins. Class 4 sits in the middle of the racing ladder — not the elite stuff, but not the easiest pickings either. Border Gem has been competitive enough to place twice overall, but converting that into a win has so far proved a step too far. The recent form figures of 5-4-2-4-5-2 show a horse that keeps finishing in the pack, with those two second-place finishes the closest it has come to breaking through.
On the positive side, Border Gem is trained by Jeremy Scott, whose yard in Brompton Regis, Somerset has sent out 24 winners already this season — a solid, productive outfit that clearly knows how to get horses fit and ready to run. If there is a win in Border Gem, Scott is well placed to find it.
