TrackLab's trainer breakdown

The most notable feature of his short career to date is how often he has turned to the same horse. Kings Gesture has accounted for five of those six runs, making it by far the centrepiece of what is, for now, a small operation finding its feet. The pair are still looking for their first win together, but the sheer number of times Ryan has kept running the horse suggests he believes there is something there worth persisting with. Whether that patience pays off remains to be seen.

It is genuinely too early to draw conclusions from a record this short. Every trainer who has ever saddled a winner once had a profile that looked exactly like this one.
