Brace For Landing

The horse races in Class 3 company, which is a step above the very bottom tier. So far it has run three times at this level without winning, but the recent third-place finishes suggest it is getting closer to breaking through at that grade. Dan Skelton's yard at Alcester has been in tremendous form this season—187 winners already—so the horse is in a stable with the resources and expertise to get it sorted. At 5 years old, Brace For Landing is at an age where plenty of horses are still finding their feet, especially if they are being aimed at the right races. With a trainer firing on all cylinders and a horse that is clearly putting in decent efforts week to week, there is every reason to think a first win may not be far away.
