King Gris
He has won 2 of his last 9 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in 5 — and those victories have come quick and close together: first at Ayr in early December, then again at Hexham nine days later. Since then, nothing. He hasn't won in nine months, though he has picked up three places in six recent runs, which suggests he remains competitive without quite getting over the line.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is his record at Class 4 level, where he wins 1 of every 4 races. At that grade, he is properly effective — better than his overall record suggests. When he steps into easier company, he knows how to finish the job. Elliott's Longwood yard in County Meath is prolific this season with 210 winners, so King Gris is trained alongside plenty of talent and gets the benefit of a high-quality operation.
His recent form tells a story of a horse trying to find his rhythm again. A tenth-place finish a day ago shows he was out competing just hours before this profile was written, which means there is still appetite to run him regularly. Whether he can recapture the spark that brought those two wins in early December remains the question — but at six years old and still active, there is time yet.
