Divine Knight
Divine Knight is a five-year-old with a workmanlike record who has found his level in the middle ranks. With 2 wins from 12 races—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 attempts—he is a plodder rather than a star, but his recent form suggests he knows where the finish line is. In his last six outings, he has been placed in four of them, finishing third, third, fifth, fourth, first, and tenth in his most recent race. That last-place finish came just yesterday, which means he is being kept busy by
William Haggas, the Newmarket trainer who has already sent out 170 winners this season.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His two victories tell the story of a horse who competes best in lower-tier races. His first win came at Thirsk in July 2025, and he followed up with a success at Great Yarmouth three weeks ago. Both of those successes came outside the top class. When Divine Knight has stepped up to Class 2 racing—the really serious races—he has managed nothing in three attempts. That gap between his comfortable mid-range victories and his struggles against the best tells you what sort of horse this is: honest, willing to keep trying, but not quite good enough for the premier division. He is the sort of runner who will keep his the yard happy with the occasional win without ever threatening to win a significant prize. The fact that he raced again yesterday, barely thirty days after his last victory, shows his trainer sees him as a reliable tool to bring out when the conditions suit and the opposition is right.
