The overall record reads three wins and five places from 13 races, which works out at roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 races ending in victory — a solid return at the level where Advancing spends most of its time. That level is predominantly Class 4, the workaday middle ground of British racing, and here the horse has won 2 of 9 races (22%), which is respectable without being flashy. The five places tell their own story too: this is a horse that competes honestly and rarely runs a shocker.
The career has a clear arc to it. The first win came at Kempton Park on 12 February 2025, and the most recent — also at Kempton — followed on 4 March 2026. That gap between wins is not unusual, but what stands out is that Advancing keeps coming back to the same track and keeps finding a way to win there. Some horses simply suit a particular circuit, whether it's the shape of the bends, the surface, or the way the race tends to unfold, and Kempton appears to be that place for this one.
Recent form shows a dip — finishes of 11th, 11th, and 6th in the last three runs suggest the horse has hit a flat patch — but the win before that sequence (a first-place finish four runs ago) is a reminder of what Advancing is capable of on a good day. Trained by Marco Botti out of Newmarket, one of the most well-resourced training bases in the country, the horse has the support of a yard that has sent out 45 winners already this season. Botti's team clearly knows what brings the best out of this one, and with Advancing having raced as recently as yesterday, it is a yard that is not shy about keeping their horses active and busy.
