Jack Rabbit Slims

The horse typically runs at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing, the grade where horses are finding their feet or looking for races they can be competitive in. Five starts at that level and still no win tells its own story. Regular jockey David Nolan has been aboard for six of those races and the pair are yet to click, with nothing to show for their partnership so far.

Recent form makes for tough reading. Looking at the last six runs — fourth, second, eighth, eighth, ninth, sixth — there is one encouraging moment buried in there: that second place finish suggests Jack Rabbit Slims can get into a race and threaten, even if seeing it through to the line has proved elusive. The horse raced just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy and looking for the right opportunity. At three years old, there is still time for things to turn around, and Coyle and Wood will be hoping the penny drops sooner rather than later.
