That second-place finish is the obvious bright spot. Racing most often at Class 5 level — the bread-and-butter end of the sport, where horses are finding their feet — it has gone 0 from 3 at that level, which means it keeps coming up just short of what should, in theory, be winnable races. The recent run of form reads 10-2-5-6-4 going back through its last five outings, with that runner-up finish sitting as a high point surrounded by more modest efforts. It raced just yesterday, so it is very much a horse in active campaigning mode right now.
On the positive side, the trainer pulling the strings is Kevin Ryan, one of the more respected operations in the north of England, based at Hambleton in North Yorkshire. With 45 winners sent out already this season, Ryan's yard clearly knows how to get horses to the track in winning form — the question is simply when Circle of Trust will be the one to cross the line first. With a patient trainer and plenty of racing still ahead in its three-year-old season, the first win may not be far away.
