Kingsman Mail

The recent form makes for interesting reading. Finishing second, then third, then third again in its last three completed races suggests a horse that is consistent rather than flashy — the kind that rarely embarrasses itself but hasn't yet found that extra gear when it matters most. Whether that changes soon is the question worth watching.

Kingsman Mail is trained by N W Alexander, based up in Leslie, Fife, a yard that has sent out 18 winners already this season — so this is clearly an operation that knows how to get horses to win races. The fact that they've kept Kingsman Mail active and placed it consistently suggests they believe there's a victory in there somewhere. After a short break of 34 days, the horse returns fresh, and sometimes a little time away is exactly what a horse needs to click things into place.
