Kernie d'Airy

The horse is trained by Jamie Snowden at Lambourn in Berkshire, a yard that has sent out 82 winners already this season. Snowden has indicated that Kernie d'Airy arrived from France needing time to settle into British racing, and that she was probably too green when pitched into a Listed race at Newbury in February—a step too far too soon. The trainer sees her future as a hurdler; she has the natural ability to jump and the potential to develop into a solid novice prospect once she has fully acclimatised. For now, though, at six years old and still very much learning the ropes after less than a dozen races, she remains a work in progress—a horse with genuine ability but still searching for consistency.
