Sir Hannibal

His recent record tells a story of consistent near-misses. In his last four races, he finished third, then third again, then second, and most recently fifth just a day ago. That fifth-place finish suggests he may be hitting a dip, or the competition has intensified, but his ability to land top-3 finishes in three of his four career races shows there is genuine ability there. Newmarket clearly suits him — he has won there once and the track appears to be his happy hunting ground so far. How he fares next time out will reveal whether his Newmarket victory was a turning point or simply his ceiling.
