Jagged Edge
Jagged Edge, a four-year-old trained by
Stephen Thorne at Rush, has won four of his twelve career races and finished in the top three in seven others — a record that puts him among the better horses in his yard this season. His 33% win rate, or roughly one victory in every three races, speaks to a genuine talent, though his form in recent weeks suggests he is going through a dip. In his last six outings he has won once, finished third twice, and recorded a pair of double-digit finishes that hint at inconsistency at this level.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse finds his comfort on normal ground: he has won two of his four races on such surfaces, a 50% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. Thorne's yard, which has already sent out 24 winners this season, clearly knows how to handle him on firm enough ground, and this may be a useful pointer for anyone watching his future entries. His last victory came at Killarney eight weeks ago, so he has been racing regularly — he last ran just a day ago — but has failed to return to the winner's circle since. That recent form line of fifth, third, first, tenth, third and twelfth suggests a horse whose performances are lurching between the useful and the forgettable, the kind of pattern that frustrates both trainer and owner. His first win, back in April 2025 at Cork, proved he had the ability to break through, and that remains the foundation of any hopes for a return to better days.
