What is encouraging is the recent trajectory. Going back through the last six races in order, Dyonisos finished 12th, 10th, 6th, 8th, then placed third, and most recently second. That is a horse finding its feet and improving race by race — not dramatically, but steadily and in the right direction. A second place last time out, just one day ago, suggests the horse is running as well as it ever has right now.
The trainer is Ian Williams, based at Alvechurch in Worcestershire, and his yard is having a productive season — 91 winners sent out so far, which is the kind of output that marks a genuinely busy and well-organised operation. A trainer running at that volume knows how to place a horse to give it the best chance, and with Dyonisos clearly improving, it would be no surprise to see Williams find the right opportunity to get this horse into the winner's enclosure for the first time.
