Mr Vettori
Mr Vettori remains very much a work in progress at three years old, but his trainer
Mrs John Harrington sees genuine potential in him after a recent encouraging performance. The horse has won just once in seven races so far — that breakthrough victory came at Gowran Park back in October — but his form over the past few months suggests he is getting closer to winning again. His last six races tell the story of a horse finding his feet: he finished second at Cork on Friday, fourth at his previous outing, fifth before that, and second twice more. That runner-up finish at Cork came despite him taking a bump inside the final furlong, yet he rallied to get back in the fight, a sign of genuine character.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Harrington, whose Moone yard has already sent out 53 winners this season, believes Mr Vettori is ready to step up in class and distance. The trainer sees a mile and a quarter as an ideal trip for him going forward and is considering entries in some of the sport's better races, including the Leopardstown Derby Trial or Chester. Shane Foley has ridden him in five of those seven races and has won once aboard him — a 20 per cent win rate that suggests a genuine understanding between horse and jockey. After nearly three months without a race, Mr Vettori returned to action just a day ago, so his bid for a second career win is well underway.
