Fleurman

The level Fleurman typically competes at — Class 4, a solid middle tier of British racing — suits this horse well, and the record there tells a better story: 3 wins from 12 races at that level, meaning it wins 1 in every 4 times out at the grade it calls home. That's a noticeably sharper ratio than the overall career figures, and it shows a horse that is genuinely competitive when pitched at the right kind of race.

The partnership with jockey Kevin Stott is worth watching. In 6 races together, Stott has ridden Fleurman to 2 wins — that's a win rate of 33%, or 1 in every 3 rides. For context, the overall career win rate across all jockeys is around 14%, so when Stott takes the reins, something clearly clicks. If you see his name in the saddle, pay attention.

Fleurman's recent form reads 1-5-8-11-3-10 over the last six races — a winner, a couple of near-misses, and a few quiet days in between. It's the profile of a horse that can be frustrating to follow but never entirely written off. The Morris yard has sent out 21 winners already this season, which speaks to a stable in decent form, and Fleurman's win this week is part of that momentum. The career began in earnest with a first win at Market Rasen back in February 2022, and four-plus years on, the horse is still finding the winner's enclosure. At 8 years old and racing just four days ago, Fleurman is very much a horse in the thick of things.
