Withtearsinmyeyes

Trained by Jack Channon at West Ilsley in Berkshire, Withtearsinmyeyes is part of a yard that has been in serious form this season — 46 winners sent out is a substantial haul, a sign that Channon and his team know what they are doing and are placing their horses well. West Ilsley is one of the more storied training bases in the country, set on the Berkshire Downs, and a yard firing out winners at that rate gives any horse in its care a real advantage in terms of preparation and know-how.

The big question now is whether that elusive first win is just around the corner. Having raced just one day ago, Withtearsinmyeyes is clearly a busy and robust young horse, and the fact that it keeps finding the frame suggests ability is not the issue. Sometimes a horse like this simply needs one race to go its way — a pace that suits, a gap that opens at the right moment — and the win follows naturally. Whether that happens next time out or takes a little longer, this is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
