The level at which Lovethiswayagain competes — Class 4, the mid-tier of British racing — is where plenty of decent horses spend their whole careers, and going winless from four attempts at that level is not a disaster, but it does mean the team at Ollie Sangster's yard will be working hard to find the right opportunity to get off the mark. Sangster, based in Marlborough in Wiltshire, has had a productive season with 42 winners sent out, so the infrastructure and knowhow are clearly there. The question is whether this particular horse can translate its placed efforts into an actual victory.
The most recent form — sixth, sixth, a blank run in the middle, then fourth, second, second reading back through the last six races — shows a horse that has been up and down. Those two seconds are the highlights, and they came before a dip in form, which makes the two sixths that followed slightly concerning. Raced just yesterday and still active, there will be more chances coming soon. For now, Lovethiswayagain remains one of racing's nearly-horses: good enough to be there at the finish, not yet good enough to win it.
