That sole win came at Southwell in January 2026, and recent form suggests Ambishio is back in the kind of shape that could bring up another one. Look at the last six runs in reverse order and a picture emerges: two poor efforts in the middle of the sequence, but bookending them are a pair of runner-up finishes and, most recently, a win and a second place. That is not a horse going backwards — that is one that has worked something out.
The trainer is Michael Appleby, whose yard in Oakham, Rutland has been in serious form this season, sending out 74 winners. That is a yard that knows how to get horses fit and ready to run, and with Ambishio having raced as recently as yesterday, it is clearly being kept sharp and busy. Appleby has a reputation for placing his horses well and keeping them active, which suits a young horse still learning the job.
Still only three and with plenty of racing ahead, Ambishio is at exactly the point where things can start to click. The win at Southwell was three months ago, but the run of form either side of it suggests it was no fluke. One to keep an eye on.
