Assail

The partnership's best moment came at Kempton Park on 7 September 2024, but that victory now sits more than two years in the past. Since then, Assail has gone winless across six consecutive races, a dry spell that includes recent finishes of fifth, eighth, and second. In its last outing just yesterday, the horse ran sixth, continuing a trend of struggling to finish in the top three. At Class 3 level—mid-range company—Assail has managed only 1 win from 6 races, suggesting it finds this grade challenging. The overall profile is of a horse that has shown it can win and does so more often with Morris aboard, but has lost form recently and needs a return to the winner's circle to prove its dry spell is just a temporary setback rather than a sign of decline.
