Manhatane

His recent form reads 6-6-5, meaning he finished sixth last time out, sixth the time before, and fifth in the race before that. It is the kind of sequence that suggests he is running in competitive fields and getting closer to the frame, though he has not quite made it yet. Trained by James Moffatt at Cartmel in Cumbria, Manhatane is part of a yard that has found the winning formula eleven times already this season, so there is competence and momentum in his corner. The trainer will know what needs to shift for this horse to break through — whether that is a drop in class, a change of ground, or simply time for his racing education to click. Manhatane is still a relatively young four-year-old, and horses do find their level. For now, he remains a work in progress, still chasing his first taste of the winner's enclosure.
