John La Bear

There is a telling pattern in his record. Over distances between one mile and one furlong and one mile and two furlongs, John La Bear has won 1 of his 6 races—a win rate of roughly 1 in 6—which suggests this is where he is most dangerous. The longer the race, the more chance he seems to have. His form elsewhere has been patchy; his most recent race just a day ago did not produce a placing, underlining how inconsistent he remains. The yard sending him out is in decent form this season with 40 winners to its name, so the training is solid, but John La Bear himself will need to rediscover the spark that lit up Dundalk if he is to become a regular visitor to the winner's circle.
