Pretty Ambitious

Trained by Harry Eustace out of Newmarket, one of the most famous racing towns in the world, Pretty Ambitious is in capable hands. Eustace's yard has fired out 24 winners already this season, which tells you this is an outfit that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. Being part of a yard in that kind of form is no small thing — horses trained by confident, winning stables often benefit from the momentum around them.

The recent form dip is worth noting honestly. After those two promising second-place finishes early in the record, the last three runs have brought tenth, tenth, and eighth — results that suggest the horse has found things tougher as it has stepped up in experience or company. Whether that reflects a temporary rough patch or a horse still searching for its ideal conditions, only more racing will tell. What is encouraging is that Pretty Ambitious ran just one day ago, so the team clearly feels there is plenty more to come from this horse right now.
