4️⃣th place for our evergreen 12yo INVINCIBLE WISH at Market Rasen Racecourse yesterday. We deployed a change in tactics from his usual front running style; dropping him out early on but the strong pace set meant it didn’t quite go to plan and he had a lot of ground to make up but he jumped well and hit the line galloping 💪🏻🫶🏻🏇🏻⭐️ and another best turned out prize too 👌🏻
