Fleurman

The bulk of his success has come at Class 4 level — one step below the top tier, and broadly the grade where solid, dependable horses make their living. He has won 3 of his 12 races at that level, a rate of 1 in 4, which is genuinely strong and suggests this is exactly the right company for him to be competing in. Push him up a grade and it gets harder; drop him into easier races and the handicapper will likely take notice. Class 4 is his sweet spot, and he knows it.

His most recent win came at Kempton Park on 25 March 2026, just three months ago, so this is no fading veteran clinging on. His last six runs read 5-5-3-1-5-8 — that win third from last is surrounded by placed and mid-field efforts, which paints the picture of a horse who is competitive without always delivering, but who can absolutely land a race when things fall right. He raced just yesterday, which means he is bang in form and firmly part of Patrick Morris's plans.

Morris trains out of Prescott in Merseyside and has had a productive season, sending out 18 winners so far. When Kevin Stott gets the leg up on Fleurman, it is worth paying attention — the two have struck up a notably productive partnership, winning 2 of their 6 races together, a rate of 1 in 3. That is comfortably better than Fleurman's overall record and suggests Stott brings something out of the horse. His very first win came at Market Rasen back in February 2022, so he has been doing this for a while now. At eight years old, Fleurman is not building toward anything — he is simply a seasoned, hard-working racehorse doing what he does best.
