Blue Mantle
Four races in, and Blue Mantle is still searching for that first win — but the story is more encouraging than the bare record suggests. The three-year-old has finished second and third in two of those outings, which means it has shown enough ability to trouble the winner on multiple occasions without quite getting its nose in front.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, Blue Mantle is part of a yard that has been in serious form this season, sending out 128 winners. That kind of firepower matters — horses trained at operations running that hot tend to be placed in races they can be competitive in, and when Johnston's team decide a horse is ready to win, they usually find a way to make it happen.
The recent form reads 11-5-2-3 going back through the last four races, and that sequence tells its own story. Blue Mantle has gone from finishing well back in the field to placing twice — the trajectory is pointing in the right direction. Raced just yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its campaign right now, and the yard will be hoping the improvement has built enough momentum to turn one of those placings into a first career win very soon.
