The pattern of recent form tells an interesting story. After a poor run 13 races ago, Who Wants Me has settled into a rhythm of regular place finishes mixed with victories. That win at Ayr on 5 July followed an earlier success at Carlisle in late June, suggesting the horse found something over the summer. Jardine noted after a third-place finish at Thirsk that the horse ran keenly early and faded late — a sign of inexperience rather than lack of ability. He was encouraged by a first attempt at a mile and reckons Who Wants Me will handle wetter ground, conditions that suit many horses better than firm, fast surfaces.
The puzzle is Andrew Mullen. The horse's regular jockey has partnered Who Wants Me ten times without a win, which raises the question of whether a change of rider might unlock more victories. At Class 4 level — competitive but not elite racing — the horse has failed to win in nine attempts, yet wins have come at other levels. Jardine's yard is in good form this season with 57 winners already, so Who Wants Me has the benefit of an outfit that knows how to get horses ready. The horse raced just a day ago, so it is very much in active campaign. If Jardine is right about the potential, and if the horse can handle a mile and benefit from softer ground, there could be more wins to come before the season ends.
