Hello Jack
Hello Jack is a 6-year-old who has yet to break his duck—11 races and still waiting for that first win. He has finished in the places four times, which suggests he has the ability to stay close to the action, but conversion remains the problem. His recent form has been mixed: two third-place finishes in his last six outings, but also a couple of disappointing runs where he trailed in at sixth and eighth. At this stage of his career, the clock is ticking if he is ever going to find the winners' circle.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is a regular partner of jockey Jordan Gainford, though they have yet to post a win together across five rides. Trainer E McNamara, based at Rathkeale in County Limerick, has made recent moves that suggest a fresh approach. Hello Jack was sent over the jumps at Galway on Sunday—his first attempt at fences—and McNamara sees real value in that experience. The trainer believes the horse will benefit from the schooling and has pencilled him in for races in handicap company down the line, where the weights might be more in his favour than they have been on the flat. McNamara's yard is in good form this season with 22 winners already sent out, so the infrastructure and expertise are there to help Hello Jack find his way to the winners' enclosure. After a race just a day ago, he will need a proper break before the next outing.
