The most revealing number is what happens when American Style steps into Class 2 company — some of the best races in Britain. It has tried six times and come away empty-handed every time, zero wins from six attempts. That is not a fluke. It suggests this is a horse that is competitive enough to keep being entered at that level, but has not yet shown it can win there. Drop it down in class, though, and the picture changes. On normal ground — its clear preference — it has won 2 of 6 races, a 33% win rate that any trainer would happily take. Those wins, including a first career success at Beverley in September 2024 and a victory at Ripon in April 2025, show what it can do when the conditions suit.
The partnership with jockey Tom Eaves is worth watching. Together they have won 2 of their 5 races, meaning they win 40% of the time — 2 in every 5 rides. That is a genuinely striking number and suggests Eaves understands this horse well.
The recent form is harder to spin positively. Finishing 9th, 3rd, 20th, 12th, 6th and 3rd in its last six races, it has not won since that Ripon success — and that was over 15 months ago. The last run was just yesterday, so this is a horse right in the middle of its season. Whether it can rediscover winning form likely depends on finding the right race at the right level, on normal ground, with Eaves in the saddle.
