What makes the recent form genuinely interesting is the consistency at the right end of the field. The last four runs read third, second, a blank, then third — so apart from one off day, this horse has been finishing right in the mix every single time. A second place in particular suggests it has come very close to breaking through, and with a bit of luck or a stronger pace to chase, a first win could easily be around the corner.
North Force is trained by the father-and-son team of Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a well-established yard that has already sent out two winners this season. Racing out of Yorkshire often means a horse is battle-tested — the northern circuit is competitive and unsentimental, and horses that place regularly up there are earning it. With a young, still-developing three-year-old that raced just yesterday and is clearly in active campaign mode, the Faheys will be looking to time their moment and find the right opportunity to turn all those close calls into a first win.
