Tonyfromhr

Trained by Jamie Osborne at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, Tonyfromhr is at least in capable hands. Osborne's yard has sent out 47 winners this season, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses to perform. The fact that this particular horse hasn't clicked yet isn't necessarily a reflection on the operation around it — sometimes young horses simply take time to find their feet, and a three-year-old with five races under its belt is still relatively early in the journey.

The recent form figures — 7, 7, 9, 4, 8, reading from most recent backwards — don't paint a pretty picture. That ninth-place finish stands out as the low point, and the return to seventh last time out, just one day ago, suggests things haven't improved. What keeps mild interest alive is that Tonyfromhr is still active and still being pointed at races, which means Osborne's team clearly believes there's something worth persisting with. Whether that faith is rewarded remains to be seen.
