High On The Hill

The recent form makes for tough reading: a fifth, a seventh, a pulled-up run, a twelfth, and a sixth, reading from most recent back. That's not a horse threatening the places — it's a horse that has consistently finished towards the back of the field across five attempts. Walton's yard has sent out just one winner this season, so this is a small, quietly operating outfit, and High On The Hill reflects where things currently stand.

Competing at Class 4, which sits in the lower half of the racing pyramid, this horse hasn't managed a win or even a podium finish from four attempts at that level. That's a straightforward record, and not one that suggests a big performance is just around the corner. Still, the horse did race just yesterday, so it remains active and in training — whatever the team believes they are building towards, they haven't given up yet.
