The recent form makes for difficult reading. A fourth last time out is the highlight of the last six runs, with a thirteenth also in there — that is finishing near the back of the field. The dashes in the form line suggest races where no finishing position was recorded, which typically means the horse did not complete the course. At nine, with this kind of profile, there are obvious questions about where a win is going to come from.
What keeps things mildly interesting is the trainer. Paul O'Flynn, based in Mallow, County Cork, has sent out six winners already this season, which suggests a yard that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. O'Flynn is not a giant operation, so six winners represents real, purposeful work. The fact that Brave Endeavour raced just one day ago also tells you the team clearly still believes there is something to work with here — horses only come back out quickly when the people around them think they are close to something, or at least worth persisting with. Whether that faith is rewarded remains the open question.
