The recent form doesn't offer much encouragement either. Finishing tenth and eleventh in back-to-back races before a seventh suggests a horse that has been running consistently in the lower half of the field. The dashes in the form — indicating non-completions or pulled-up runs — add another layer of concern to an already difficult picture.
Jack G Gilligan has been the regular partner, riding Tell Me Again six times without managing a win together. That kind of long-running partnership without a breakthrough can sometimes reflect a horse that simply needs things to fall exactly right, but at 0 from 6 it is hard to build a case for optimism. Trainer Micky Hammond, based at Middleham in North Yorkshire, has had a productive season with 25 winners sent out from his yard, so the operation clearly knows how to get horses winning. Tell Me Again just hasn't been one of them.
What is notable is that the horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much still an active part of the stable's plans. Hammond is clearly persevering, and sometimes a trainer's continued faith in a horse tells its own quiet story. Whether Tell Me Again can reward that patience remains to be seen — but for now, it is a horse still waiting for its moment.
