Forever Perfect

The recent form makes encouraging reading: 3-2-2-1-3-6 over the last six runs, reading back from the most recent. That's a string of placed efforts bookending the Wolverhampton win, with only the most recent run — just yesterday — breaking the pattern. It's too early to read much into a single below-par effort, and the overall picture is of a horse that competes consistently and knows how to get its head in front when conditions are right.

Behind the horse is Rebecca Menzies, training out of Morden in County Durham. Her yard has sent out 36 winners already this season, which marks her out as one of the more productive operations in the north of England. That kind of output means horses are arriving fit and ready, and for a horse like Forever Perfect — still only 3, still learning the game — being in a busy, confident yard matters. There's every reason to think the best is still ahead.
