Rajendra

Trained by David Simcock at Newmarket, Rajendra is part of a yard that has already sent out 39 winners this season, so he has the benefit of a clearly competent operation. His recent form shows a mix of results — a sixth, fourth, seventh, a third, another sixth, and that most recent fourth — the kind of inconsistency typical of a young horse still figuring out what it is capable of doing. What stands out is that he has contested Class 5 races three times without winning, which suggests he may be struggling at even the lower levels of competition. With no wins yet and only that single place to his name from six attempts, Rajendra has not yet shown enough to excite, but at three years old he is still young enough that improvement is entirely possible. The fact that Simcock is keeping him in regular work suggests the trainer believes there is more to come.
