Green Pursuit
Green Pursuit is a horse still searching for consistency. The four-year-old has managed just one win from 17 races — a success at Catterick Bridge last April that now feels like ancient history, over a year ago. Since that sole victory, he has not won again, though he has picked up six places to show he can at least run competitively. His win rate of roughly 1 in 17 tells you this is not a natural racehorse, but his recent form suggests he may be slowly improving: in his last six runs he has finished second, fifth, third, fifth, 11th and 11th. That second place two runs ago hints at something better to come.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The sweet spot for Green Pursuit appears to be races between 5 furlongs and 6½ furlongs, where he has won 1 of 7 — a solid 14 per cent win rate at that distance. His trainer, Seb Spencer at Malton, believes the horse is still unexposed and wants to test him over 7 furlongs, a slight step up. Spencer notes that if ground conditions turn wet and muddy, dropping back to 6 furlongs could work well. The yard is firing this season with 13 winners already, which suggests a trainer in form willing to experiment with his horses.
The concern is that most of Green Pursuit's recent races have been at Class 4 level — the lower tier — yet he has not won any of the five he has contested at that standard. Regular jockey Dale Swift, who rides him most often, has yet to record a winner aboard him across eight races together. Whether that partnership needs refreshing, or whether the horse simply needs one more drop in class to find his rhythm, remains to be seen. Either way, with the season moving into its final stretch, Spencer reckons there are opportunities ahead.
