Ice Cold Alex
Ice Cold Alex has tasted victory exactly once in 11 career races, a breakthrough win at Pontefract on 14 April 2025 that remains the high point of a modest record so far. The three-year-old has picked up three placed finishes alongside that single win, giving a career return of 1 win and 3 places—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 races. Since that Pontefract success nearly 17 months ago, the horse has drawn a blank, failing to win in its last six outings.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Recent form reads unevenly: an eighth, a twelfth, a fourth, a sixth, and another fourth across the last five completed races, with a most recent run just a day ago. When saddled by Cam Hardie, Ice Cold Alex has managed 1 win from 8 races together—a partnership win rate of 12%, which is a touch above the horse's overall average. The horse is trained by Ollie Pears at Norton in North Yorkshire, where the yard has sent out 9 winners this season. However, Ice Cold Alex has found top-level racing tough: in three attempts at Class 2 races, it has yet to find the winner's enclosure.
At this stage, Ice Cold Alex remains a horse searching for consistency. The long gap between victories and the uninspiring recent sequence suggests it has not yet settled into a winning groove, despite that encouraging debut success. It remains an active runner, but will need to rediscover some of the form that produced that single win if it is to become a regular in the prize money.
