Trainer Form / Timeform / 25 June 2009 / Leave a comment

This trio could be worth following over the next month, according to the ratings dons.

Mark Johnston has had a staggering 85 runners in the past fortnight, yet is still managing to operate at a very healthy 20% strike rate. He enjoyed a rather mixed Royal Ascot with several leading fancies either disappointing or not enjoying the luck of the draw, but by the end of the week Johnston had resumed winning ways with successes from Holberg in the Queen's Vase and Drill Sergeant in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes. On the whole, his string continues in good form and horses such as Yorgunnabelucky and Rock Of Love who were both comfortable recent winners of maidens at Redcar and Beverley should be followed in the coming weeks.

John Quinn's stable have hit form in tremendous style in the past 14 days. The Malton trainer has enjoyed seven wins from his last 34 runners, an impressive 21% strike rate. During that spell the versatile Master Nimbus achieved an unusual double when victorious in a handicap chase at Aintree and on the Flat at Redcar only eight days later. Quinn has enjoyed a successful partnership with jockey Jamie Kyne, and the talented apprentice has now had seven winners for the yard this season. With the stable in fine form and Kyne's valuable 5lb claim to call on the pair should be set for more success in the future.

Richard Price's horses have been running well lately with the Hereford trainer having three winners in the past nine days. Whilst the races won were only low grade it is worth noting that last year Price had five winners from 15 runners in July and with his yard in decent nick it could be that he is worth following over the next month.
