The level Dc Cogent operates at is Class 5, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing where fields are competitive and margins are small. Of 11 races at that level, there has been just the one win — roughly 1 in every 11, or 9% — which is modest, but the seven places suggest the horse is rarely embarrassed either. It tends to sit in the mix and finish respectably, which for the yard at this level has some value, even if the winner's enclosure has felt a long way away lately.
Paul Mulrennan rides most often, the pair combining for 1 win from 7 races together — that is 14%, or just under 1 in 7, which is actually a decent return by this horse's standards. Trainer Bryan Smart, based at Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire, has had a productive season with 19 winners sent out from the yard, so there is no shortage of form around the stable. Dc Cogent has raced as recently as yesterday, which at least confirms it is fit and in regular work. Whether it can rediscover the spark that produced that Newcastle win is the question — but it has been asking that same question for over a year now.
