The most recent six races paint a picture of a horse hovering just outside the frame. Finishing third, ninth, fourth, third, fifteenth, and second in that sequence, there are flashes of promise mixed in with the odd disappointing effort — that second place is tantalisingly close, while the fifteenth suggests some days are simply not its day. What is notable is that Low Style raced just yesterday, so whatever is in the tank is being used right now, in the thick of a busy campaign.
Sean Flanagan has been the regular rider, partnering Low Style in 7 of its races without managing to find the winner's enclosure together — 0 wins from 7 attempts. That is a partnership that has not yet clicked, at least in terms of results, though the horse's placings suggest the races have not all been disasters. Barry Connell trains the horse from his yard in Nurney, County Kildare, and the operation has been in decent form this season with 7 winners already sent out — so the ability to get horses winning is clearly there. Whether Low Style can add to that tally is the question that has been unanswered for the better part of four years.
Roscommon gave Low Style its finest hour once before, and at this stage of a long career, finding the right opportunity at a track that suits may be the best hope of a second chapter.
