Saith Seren

The recent form makes for fairly sobering reading. Over the last six races, the best efforts are a fourth place and a fifth, with three runs producing nothing in the way of a finish position at all. The horse raced just yesterday, so it's clearly in active training and its trainer is persevering, but the pattern at the moment is one of quiet participation rather than genuine contention.

With no wins and just four placed efforts from 14 races, Saith Seren sits firmly in the category of a horse that makes up the numbers on raceday — valuable to the sport, but not one that punters or casual fans will be circling on their racecard. Until a win or a more consistent run of placed finishes changes the story, there isn't yet a compelling reason to think the breakthrough is just around the corner.
