Talking Bear
Talking Bear is still waiting for that breakthrough moment. The three-year-old has been to the races three times without winning, though managed one place finish in the middle of those three outings. Most recently, he finished ninth, which is not the trajectory you want to see. Before that came a fifth, and a third before that — so while there has been some forward movement in the form, it has not yet translated into a win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Richard Phillips at Adlestrop in Gloucestershire, Talking Bear is part of a small but active yard. Phillips has sent out three winners already this season, so there is capability there, but the horse himself has not yet benefited from it. With only a single place to his name from three races, Talking Bear remains very much a prospect rather than a proven performer. He was out on the track just a day ago, which means he is being campaigned regularly — a sign that the yard believe there is more to come.
