The finishing positions of 23rd and 9th (reading oldest to most recent) actually show a horse moving in the right direction. Going from 23rd to 9th is a significant jump up the field, and for a three-year-old with only two races under its belt, that kind of improvement is exactly what you'd hope to see. Horses at this age are often still learning the job — how to settle, how to travel in a pack, how to respond when asked to quicken — and early form figures can be misleading about a horse's real ceiling.
The trainer, Marcus Tregoning, has sent out four winners from his yard this season. That's a modest but meaningful tally, and it means Notable Charm is operating in a team that knows how to get a horse ready to win. Tregoning is a patient, considered trainer with a reputation for placing horses carefully, so it would be no surprise if Notable Charm's conditions and timing are being chosen with some thought behind them. The question is simply whether the talent is there to reward that patience.
At this stage, Notable Charm is very much a horse to watch rather than one to celebrate. Two races is a tiny sample, the improvement from one run to the next is genuinely encouraging, and with a young horse in an active stable, the story is nowhere near written yet.
