The most recent outing, just yesterday, resulted in a tenth-place finish, which is the kind of run that raises questions after the more encouraging efforts before it. Whether that was a blip, a race that didn't suit, or something to genuinely worry about is the key question hanging over the horse right now.
What works in Forthill's favour is the quality of the operation behind it. Trainer P Twomey, based in Cashel, County Tipperary, has sent out 42 winners already this season — that is a yard firing on all cylinders, not one that is struggling to find form. When a trainer is winning at that kind of volume, horses in the string tend to be well-placed and well-prepared. Forthill may simply be a horse that needs a bit more time and the right opportunity to finally get off the mark.
