The horse showed exactly that form this week, notching a win at Beverley on 16 September. That victory broke a dry spell in recent form — a look at the last six races shows one win, a couple of placings, and some runs that didn't trouble the judges, the sort of patchy form that many horses experience. But consistency is building. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton, in North Yorkshire, has already sent out 128 winners this season, and Evelyn's Phoenix benefits from being trained alongside proven winners. David Allan, the jockey who rides it most often, has partnered the horse twice and won both times, giving him a 100% record together — a small sample, but worth noting.
Most of Evelyn's Phoenix's races come at Class 6 level, where it has won 3 of 16 races (19%). It took until late May 2024 to register that first career win at Redcar, but five wins in the time since suggests the horse has found its feet and knows how to get its nose in front when conditions suit. With a recent win fresh in the record, a trainer sending out winners regularly, and ground preferences that are easy to identify, this is a horse that looks ready to give its the yard more reasons to celebrate.
