Desertmore News
Desertmore News has had a productive run lately, winning two of his last five races and showing enough consistency to suggest there is more to come. The six-year-old won most recently at Sedgefield in March, then picked up another victory before that at Southwell in February — the horse's first career win. Over five races in total, he has two wins and three top-3 finishes, which works out to a win rate of roughly 2 in every 5 races, a solid return at his level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Tom Ellis's Rugby-based yard has been in good form this season with thirty winners to its name, and Desertmore News fits the pattern of a horse improving with age and experience. His recent form card — a third, tenth, first, tenth, and first across his last five starts — shows inconsistency, but the wins are proof the horse can deliver on track. Seven months have passed since that Sedgefield victory, and with him back racing just a day ago, the yard will be looking to spark another winning run. He remains active and in work, which suggests Ellis still believes there is something to work with.
