Valtteri Its James

What works in the horse's favour is the yard behind it. Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, based in Milnathort in Perth and Kinross, have sent out 47 winners already this season — that is a serious operation with the knowhow to place a horse well and find the right opportunity. When a team of that calibre keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe there is something worth finding. The question is whether Valtteri Its James can finally deliver on that faith. Last seen on the track just 15 days ago, the horse is clearly being kept busy, which suggests the team are actively searching for the right race to unlock a first win.
