Moonlight Melody
Moonlight Melody is a three-year-old working through a tough patch at present. The horse has raced seven times without a win, and although it did finish in the top three once, the overall record reads a stark 0-1-7. That single top-three finish came in the middle of this run, so there has been nothing to cheer about in the last six races — most recently a 16th-place finish just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes the situation worth watching is the horse's trainer. Donald McCain runs one of the country's most consistent yards, based at Cholmondeley in Cheshire, and his operation has already sent out 55 winners this season. Horses trained by McCain rarely stay out of form for long, which means Moonlight Melody could yet turn this around. For now, though, this is a horse searching for any sign of improvement, and the yard will be hoping the next outing brings better luck.
