The pattern in those last six outings — a fifth, second, fifth, third, eighth, and then that second — suggests inconsistency. The jump from third to eighth is the kind of dip that can happen when a horse doesn't quite handle the track or the race conditions, but then it bounced back immediately with a top-3 finish. It's still in training with Harry Eustace at Newmarket, a yard that has been firing this season with 24 winners already, so the horse has experienced handlers at least.
Whether No Claims Bonus ever breaks through to win is the question hanging over its future. Three top-3 finishes in eleven attempts means it can run respectably, but winning requires something extra — better luck, better conditions, or simply being that bit sharper than it has been so far. For now it remains a horse that shows up, competes, and occasionally finishes in the frame, but has yet to taste the winning post.
