James Choice
James Choice picked up his first career win just this week at Lingfield Park, a breakthrough that came after six races without success. The 3-year-old has shown real promise in the races since, placing in four of his last five outings — second, second, third, and fourth — which suggests he is learning his trade and improving with each run. His overall record of one win and four places from seven races shows a horse that is competitive but still finding his feet at this level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Warren Greatrex's Upper Lambourn yard, which has already sent out 50 winners this season, James Choice is in experienced hands. The timing of his first win at Lingfield Park last week, combined with the strong form he has shown immediately after, indicates the horse may have turned a corner. A young horse that puts together a run of placings after breaking his duck is often one worth watching — he knows what winning feels like now, and he is staying consistent.
