Lednikov

The pattern of Lednikov's form is consistent and readable. It competes mostly in Class 6 races — the lower tiers of racing — where it has won six of 35 attempts, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 outings. It runs best over the 1m3f to 1m4f trip, winning twice from ten races at that distance. Elle-May Croot is its regular jockey, combining with the horse to win four times from 27 races together, a similar win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 mounts. Ivan Furtado's Wiseton yard, based in South Yorkshire, has had a productive season with 43 winners overall. For a horse that has now gone half a year without a win, the recent form chart — fifth, fifth, seventh, fourth, third, fifth — suggests it is running without significant success but has returned to action quickly and consistently. It remains useful in the right race, particularly back at Southwell where it genuinely belongs.
