Ez Tiger
Ez Tiger is a nine-year-old who has found his level as a consistent performer in lower-tier racing, winning five of his 30 races across a career that now stretches back over two years. At first glance, a win rate of just 1 in every 5 or 6 races might sound modest, but for a horse competing almost exclusively in Class 5 — the lower rungs of British racing — he has proved reliable enough to have earned £74,000 in prize money. That figure speaks to a horse who turns up, does his job, and regularly finishes in the places.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Alex Hales at Edgcote in Oxfordshire, Ez Tiger shows a clear preference for normal ground conditions, winning 5 of 20 races (25 per cent) on standard ground compared to his overall average. More striking is his record at Plumpton, where he has won twice from five races — a 40 per cent win rate that marks it out as his happy hunting ground. His last win came at Plumpton on 20 October 2025, a full ten months ago, suggesting he may be waiting for a return to a track that clearly suits him.
The partnership between horse and jockey has been crucial to his success. Bryan Carver has ridden Ez Tiger in 16 of his races and won on him five times — a 31 per cent win rate that is notably better than the horse's overall average. That kind of consistency between a rider and a horse matters; Carver clearly knows how to get the best from him. Recent form has been patchy, with a ninth-place finish just a day ago, but over his last six runs Ez Tiger has had moments worth noting, including a second-place finish and a win. At nine years old and still racing, he remains a useful tool in the right conditions.
