Lancier Des Obeaux

The bulk of Lancier Des Obeaux's experience has come at Class 4 level, which sits in the middle of the racing ladder — not the glamour end, but competitive enough that you need to bring something real to the table. Three runs at that level have produced nothing in return, which suggests the horse is still searching for conditions or a race setup that suits. Racing just one day ago, Lancier Des Obeaux is clearly an active campaigner, and trainer Laura Horsfall at her Towcester yard will be working to find the right opportunity. Horsfall's team has sent out five winners this season, so the knowhow to place a horse to best effect is there — it is simply a matter of when Lancier Des Obeaux finds its moment. Every horse on the track was once winless. The question is whether this one can turn its near-miss into something more.
