Queen Of Hope has run twice so far without getting into the money, finishing seventh most recently and fifth before that. The 3-year-old, trained by
Jack Jones at Newmarket, is still learning the ropes on the track. Jones has built a solid yard this season, already sending out 33 winners, so the horse is in a capable setup that knows how to develop young runners. With just two races under her belt and a fresh outing just yesterday, Queen Of Hope remains very much early in her career, and there is plenty of time for her to find her level and get that first victory. The recent racing suggests she is making progress between runs — moving up two places from her first race to her second — which is the kind of pattern that often indicates a horse beginning to settle into the demands of competition.
