Glen To Glen

The Perth victory two months ago was his most recent success, and it came after a fairly mixed run through the summer. His last six races tell an uneven story: he failed to finish in the top three in his most recent outing just a day ago, but before that he had shown signs of returning to form with a third-place finish and a fourth-place effort earlier in the season. That kind of inconsistency is typical of a horse still learning his trade at four years old, though the fact that he can still win suggests there is something worth chasing.

Nick Scholfield's Lambourn yard is in fine form this season with 22 winners already to its name, and Glen To Glen's first career win came back in March at The Curragh. The combination of modest win rate and consistent top-3 finishes suggests a horse that is genuinely trying but operating at a level where the margins between winning and losing are razor-thin. He is still active and was last seen in the past day, so the yard have clearly not given up on him — that alone is worth noting, given how many horses are retired at this stage.
