The recent form string is the most interesting part of the picture. Reading from most recent backwards — 3, 4, 2, 7, 5, 9 — there is a noticeable improvement happening at the front end of that sequence. A second place last time out, followed by a third and a fourth beforehand, points to a horse that is coming into form at the right moment. The 7, 5, and 9 earlier in the season look like a young horse finding its feet, and it would be no surprise if the next start finally produces the result the recent runs have been hinting at.
Nicky Larson runs out of Paul Nolan's yard in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, and that is a genuinely useful connection to have. Nolan's team has sent out 25 winners already this season — a strong return that marks the yard out as one that knows how to get a horse ready to win. When a trainer of that calibre keeps running a horse that has yet to score, it usually means they can see something worth persevering with. With the most recent race coming just yesterday, Nicky Larson is clearly fit and active, and the yard will have a clear idea of where the opportunity lies.
