Full Volume

The real clue to understanding Full Volume lies in distance. When stepping up to races between seven furlongs and a mile, he has converted 1 win from 3 attempts — a 33 per cent success rate over that longer trip. Drop him in shorter, and he struggles. His most recent form reads 6-6-2-1 from his last four runs, a sequence showing he has missed the frame twice but also placed in the top three twice, most recently just a day ago. He has not won since Bellewstown two months back, but the pattern suggests he is a horse who will run well when the distance is right and when he gets the kind of ground or race shape that plays to his strengths. At just two years old, there is every reason to expect that winning mentality to return. Mrs Harrington's yard has already sent out 53 winners this season, so Full Volume will be schooled by a trainer who knows how to get the best from her horses.
