Indefensible

What's curious is that Indefensible has never won in a Class 5 race—the highest level at which he typically competes—finishing without a win in all three attempts at that standard. His breakthrough came at Redcar, which suggests the track itself suits him in a way that overrides class. He's ridden most often by Harry Russell, though they haven't struck it rich together yet (0 wins from 5 races), so there may be room for a change if the yard believes another jockey could unlock something. Trained by Ollie Pears at Norton in North Yorkshire, Indefensible belongs to a yard that has sent out 9 winners this season—solid, workmanlike stuff. He was last out just a day ago, so he's clearly being kept busy while the yard try to find another race that might suit him as well as Redcar did.
