Ade Boy
Ade Boy has had to be patient. The five-year-old won his first race at Navan on 20 September 2025, but that breakthrough came after five attempts, and he has not visited the winner's enclosure since — a gap of 13 months now. He has finished in the top 3 in four of his six career races, which suggests there is genuine ability in there, yet the wins simply have not come. His record stands at one win and four top-3 finishes from six races, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse plainly prefers longer distances. When stepped up to races between 1m6f and 2m, he has won one of three outings (a 33 per cent return), which is a marked improvement on his overall record. That sole victory came over 1m6f at Navan — a sign that this is where his engine works best. Charlie Longsdon's yard, based at Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, has been productive this season with 31 winners sent out, and Ade Boy's recent form at least hints at renewed competitiveness. After a sixth-place finish six races ago, he has now strung together three top-3 finishes in four runs, including a second place just days ago. It is not a transformation, but it is a shift in the right direction, and at five years old, he may yet have his best days ahead of him if the yard can keep him pointed at the right races and distances.
