Ay Gee Ell

The horse has run consistently without adding to that one win, picking up places in 7 of its 22 outings—the kind of steady, unrewarding record that suggests Ay Gee Ell has found its level but struggles to rise above it. Trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 23 winners this season, Ay Gee Ell rarely fires. Its regular jockey, Oisin Orr, has ridden it nine times without a win, and recent form has been particularly poor: across its last six races, it has finished out of the places in four of them, with a best effort of fourth. Still, the horse is active—it raced just yesterday—so the yard continue to run it, perhaps hoping the sprint pattern from December might repeat itself on a future card.
