Slight Of Foot

What works in Slight Of Foot's favour is where it's trained. Harry Charlton's yard at Beckhampton in Wiltshire is one of the more productive operations around this season, having sent out 38 winners — that's a busy, confident team that clearly knows how to get horses ready to run. Beckhampton has a long history as a serious training base, and horses from that yard tend to be placed with care. The fact that Charlton has kept running Slight Of Foot suggests the team sees something worth persevering with.

Having raced just yesterday, this is a horse right in the thick of its season. Whether that second place is a sign of things clicking into place, or whether the tenth place that preceded it is the truer picture, is the question worth watching. At three years old, there's still time to figure it out — and with 38 winners already on the board this season, Charlton's yard is well placed to help it do exactly that.
