Jindri

Jane Chapple-Hyam's Dalham yard has sent out 24 winners this season, a sign of a well-oiled operation, and Jindri's form over longer distances hints at where its strengths may lie. Over races between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, the horse has won one from four starts — a respectable 25 per cent — suggesting that stamina suits it more than speed. At the lower levels where it typically competes, it has won one from five races at Class 5, a win rate of 20 per cent. The battle now is whether Jindri can string together more victories, or whether that November win remains a one-off flash of brilliance. Recent form has been patchy: a place two races ago, sandwiched between a fifth and a ninth, then a six yesterday. There is a horse somewhere in those numbers, but it has not yet learned to find it consistently.
