Ms C E Gunn(7)

The "(7)" beside her name is worth explaining: it means she claims a 7-pound weight allowance, a perk given to the most inexperienced riders to help them get opportunities on horses they might not otherwise be booked for. It levels the playing field a little, and for trainers willing to take a chance on a young rider, it can be a genuine incentive. In short, it's the sport's way of giving newcomers a foot in the door.

With only a handful of rides to her name, there simply isn't enough of a record yet to draw conclusions about where her strengths lie. What matters at this stage is getting rides, learning the craft, and making enough of an impression to be called again. That process takes time, and three years in, Gunn is still very much in the early chapters.
