Ross Burdon

His most-used jockey is Jack Mitchell, who has taken 20 rides for the stable and converted one of them into a winner. That 1 from 20 record, around 1 in every 20 rides, suggests the partnership is still developing — Mitchell is clearly the go-to choice, but the combination has yet to really click. The horse to watch from the yard is Seventy, who has run five times for Burdon and won once. One win from five is nothing spectacular on paper, but in a yard this new, having a horse you keep coming back to is itself a sign of progress.

One small detail worth noting: on normal ground, Burdon's horses have won 1 from 4, a 25% win rate that comfortably outperforms his overall average. It is too small a sample to draw firm conclusions, but it hints that when conditions are straightforward, his runners tend to show up ready to compete. With only a few months of results to go on, the honest verdict is that Burdon is a trainer to keep an eye on rather than a fully formed story — but the early numbers give genuine reason to watch what he does next.
