Haveyoumissedme

The key to understanding Haveyoumissedme lies in two things: the ground and the distance. On wet or muddy ground, he has won 2 of his 7 races — a 29% win rate, far above his career average. Over longer distances, particularly between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, he has won 3 of 18 races (17%), which again suggests he is best suited to that particular test. His regular partner Andrew Mullen has steered him to 3 wins from 29 races together, and together they have continued to search for another breakthrough. Recent form has been difficult: he has not won in his last six races, finishing second twice and eighth once, but he raced just a day ago, showing he remains a regular competitor in what are typically Class 4 races. Jardine's comment about the horse being "dangerously handicapped" hints at a professional who still believes there is unfinished business — that somewhere in the remaining years of this horse's career, another win might yet arrive, probably when the ground turns in his favour and the distance favours his style.
