King's Call

King's Call is a 4-year-old that has yet to find its stride in what has been a grueling campaign so far. With just one win from 21 races, the horse has picked up a couple of top-3 finishes along the way, but those moments have been few and far between. The single victory came at Ayr back in July 2024 — nearly two and a half years ago now — and nothing has clicked for King's Call since that day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Recent form tells the story of a horse running out of answers. In its last six outings, King's Call has managed only a pair of 9th-place finishes, with the other runs producing 8th, 11th, and 13th positions. It raced just yesterday, so the yard are still searching for the right formula. The yard — Lawrence Mullaney's outfit based in Newark, Nottinghamshire — has not had much fortune this season overall, with only two winners sent out, so the team faces challenges beyond just this individual horse.

Dale Swift, who has been the regular pilot, has yet to have any luck aboard King's Call. In five rides together, Swift has not steered the horse to victory, which reflects the broader difficulty in finding a winning combination. When King's Call has stepped up to compete in the top races, it has managed 0 wins from 5 attempts — a reminder that the horse simply does not have the class to succeed at that level. At this point, after 21 races and so little return, King's Call remains a horse still searching for consistency and any reason to believe better days are ahead.
