Greer Hill

Recent form paints a mixed picture. In his last six outings he has finished 7th, 3rd, 5th, 1st, 8th and then missed the placings again, suggesting he lacks the kind of reliable improvement you want to see in a maturing horse. When competing at the top level of his range — Class 4 races — the picture darkens considerably. Greer Hill has yet to win in three attempts at that grade, losing out each time despite facing stiffer competition. His trainer Jennie Candlish, based at Basford in Staffordshire, has had a productive season with 64 winners from the yard, so there is quality in the operation, but Greer Hill has not yet tapped into that winning formula regularly enough to suggest a breakthrough is imminent. He remains active and racing, but will need to find another level to make a real mark.
