The pattern of his recent form — second, then win, then fifth — is the kind of up-and-down record you'd expect from a horse still finding his feet at this stage of his career. He's won 1 of 3 races overall, which puts him at a 33% win rate, but more telling is that he's finishing in the placings in two-thirds of his starts. That's solid consistency for a horse of his age. The question now is whether Rothwell can find the right race and the right conditions to string together a winning run, because a horse that can win and can place regularly is one worth watching. The fact that his last win was eight weeks ago suggests he may be due another — horses like this don't usually go quiet for long if the trainer believes in them.
