Forever My Prince
Forever My Prince has tasted winning in his career, but lately the days of victory feel a long way off. The 4-year-old has recorded two wins from his 21 outings—a modest record that sits at roughly one win in every ten races—yet it is the timing of those successes that tells the real story. His last win came at Leicester on 28 October 2025, nearly a year ago now, and since then he has found the winners' circle stubbornly closed. In his six most recent races, he has finished out of the money each time, posting a sequence of 12th, 9th, 6th, 5th, 6th and 5th place finishes. That is the pattern of a horse treading water.Based on TrackLab's analysis

The brighter thread in Forever My Prince's record emerges when he competes at Class 5 level, where he has won twice from seven races—a win rate of 29 per cent that suggests he can perform when conditions suit him. His first win arrived at Lingfield Park on 10 July 2024, and the second at Leicester the following October. These are tracks and ratings where he has shown he belongs. Michael Blake, his trainer based at Trowbridge in Wiltshire, manages a modest operation this season with four winners sent out from the yard, and Charles Bishop, the jockey who has ridden Forever My Prince most often, has steered him to both victories from their ten rides together—a 20 per cent win rate as a partnership. That suggests genuine chemistry between horse and rider. Still, with the horse active after racing just a day ago and winless over the past eleven months, Blake and Bishop will need to find the right spot and the right conditions soon if they are to get Forever My Prince back to the winners' enclosure.
