His recent form offers little encouragement. In his last six races, he has managed only one place finish, with a run of three seventh-place efforts and a blank suggesting he is running out of luck in his current assignments. He was back on the track just yesterday, which shows his trainer Faye Bramley, based at Lambourn in Berkshire, is still finding opportunities for him. Bramley's yard has sent out 17 winners this season, so there is some quality support behind The Ormer Gatherer, even if his individual record does not reflect consistent success.
There is one bright spot in his profile: at distances between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, he has shown some ability, winning 1 of 6 races over this range — a 17 percent return that stands out against his overall record. Regular rider George Downing has not yet tasted victory aboard him, though they have teamed up five times. At this stage of his career, The Ormer Gatherer appears to be a horse searching for another winning opportunity, but the years and the race count suggest he may be running out of time to deliver.
