Draupnir
Draupnir is a 4-year-old who broke through at Thirsk on 15 September 2024 and has been chasing that feeling ever since. The win came over seven furlongs to a mile, which remains his sweetest ground—he has won one of five races in that distance range, suggesting those middle distances suit him better than trips either side. Since that breakthrough, though, the horse has run six times without adding another victory, though the placings show he remains competitive: a second at his most recent outing, a third before that, and consistent top-ten finishes throughout.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
With just one win from 15 races overall, Draupnir is a horse who earns his way and doesn't waste opportunities. His record in Class 5 races—the level where he competes most—stands at one win from five, which speaks to a horse who can trouble rivals on his day but needs things to fall right. Billy Garritty has partnered him five times, winning once, a 20% win rate that is comfortably better than the horse's career average of one win in roughly every 14 races. The Easterby yard at Sheriff Hutton has had a strong season with 55 winners and clearly has this horse progressing steadily if slowly through his races.
The 12 months since that Thirsk win will have tested Draupnir's the yard, but his recent form suggests he remains a horse with something to offer. A second and a third in his last two races indicate he is still capable of running well, even if the elusive second win continues to elude him. For a horse at this level, consistency and the occasional place cheque represent solid progress, and Draupnir appears to be delivering just that.
