Liquid Cooled

The recent form tells a story of inconsistency. Over the last six races, Liquid Cooled has managed a third-place finish three weeks ago and a fourth before that, but has otherwise struggled to trouble the judge. A sixth place and an eleventh stand out as particularly poor efforts. Still, the horse is trained by Ben Haslam at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, a yard that has been genuinely productive this season with 35 winners to its name, so there is some solid horsemanship behind the scenes. Whether Liquid Cooled has the class to recapture that Newcastle form remains the open question — five months without another win, at just three years old, suggests the horse may need time to develop, or that March's success was above its current level.
