L'As de Watt

The recent form reads 3-8-10-5-2-7, most recent first. There's something worth noting in there: a second-place finish three races back shows the horse can get close, but consistency remains elusive. A third and a fifth in the last six outings suggest L'As de Watt is operating at the kind of level where victory should be within reach—it's not as though the horse is miles away—but timing and the right conditions haven't quite aligned. Philip Fenton's yard at Carrick-On-Suir has already sent out seven winners this season, so there's form in the stable. Whether L'As de Watt becomes the next to break through, or remains a horse that places but never quite wins, will likely depend on finding the right race fit and ground conditions.
