Rake Lane remains a work in progress. The 4-year-old has run four times without finding the winner's circle, finishing out of the places on each occasion—sixth, fifth, fifth, and seventh his most recent efforts. With just one run in the past week, the horse is being kept active by trainer
Mark Walford, whose Sheriff Hutton yard has sent out 35 winners already this season, suggesting the stable is in good form even if this particular horse hasn't yet clicked. There's still time for Rake Lane to break through, but so far the horse has shown nothing to suggest a turning point is imminent.
