His most recent win came at Hexham in October 2025, around six months ago, and before that he broke his duck at Carlisle back in February 2024. Both wins came at smaller northern tracks, which fits the profile of a horse operating at Class 3 level — one step below the elite races, competitive enough that winning genuinely takes something. At that level he has won just 1 from 8 races, which is honest rather than spectacular, but it does mean he belongs there.
What makes the current run of form worth watching is the consistency without the result. His last six races show a sequence of 4th, 5th, a blank, 5th, 2nd, and 7th — he raced just yesterday, so he is clearly in active work and his trainer Sandy Thomson is keeping him busy. Thomson's yard at Lambden in the Scottish Borders has sent out 17 winners this season, so this is not a stable running on empty. The horses are winning — just not this one, not lately.
His regular jockey Ryan Mania has ridden him six times without a win between them, which is a curious quirk given that Mania is clearly trusted enough to keep getting the ride. Sometimes a partnership just needs the right day and the right race to click. I Am Max has shown he can win — twice, in fact — so the question is less whether he can do it again and more when the pieces finally fall into place.
