Battle Fever

Trained by Kevin Ryan at Hambleton in North Yorkshire, Battle Fever runs for a yard that has already sent out 45 winners this season—a sign of serious competitive strength. The horse's recent form reads 3-3-2-1-3-2, which means it has been placed in every single recent race and hit the frame in the last six runs without interruption. That kind of reliability, especially in a young horse still finding its feet, is exactly what trainers and owners want to see. Battle Fever may not have won since early August, but it is clearly running into form at the right time, and the consistency of those placings suggests the next win may not be far away.
