The recent form figures tell a blunt story: 11th, 7th, 16th, 6th, 9th, 12th. That 16th is particularly eye-catching, and not in a good way. The closest Crackles has come to troubling the judge is that 6th-place finish, which remains the best effort on record so far. Trainer E McNamara, based in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick, has sent out 22 winners this season, so the yard clearly knows how to get horses to the winner's enclosure — Crackles just hasn't been one of them yet.
Whether things are about to change is hard to say. The form book offers no real encouragement at this stage, but with the team still running the horse regularly, they evidently haven't given up hope of finding a race that suits.
