🔍 Full analysis

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

Both her wins have come on normal racing ground, and that preference is marked. On normal conditions she has won two of nine races, a rate of about one in five, which stands out against her overall form. Her first career win came at Musselburgh on August 1st, 2025, and she returned to the winner's enclosure five months later at Pontefract on April 21st. That long gap between wins is telling—she is not a horse who carries momentum, but she is capable of producing a good effort when the right race and conditions align.

Trainer Adam Nicol's Seahouses yard in Northumberland has been busy this season with 26 winners, and Lady Phoebe represents the kind of honest, workmanlike type that such yards depend on to rack up winners across the season. Jockey Cam Hardie has ridden her twelve times, winning once, and their partnership suggests a straightforward relationship rather than anything sparkling. Her recent form shows flashes—a win five races back, and a couple of placing efforts—but also the inconsistency that defines her. She is most comfortable over long distances of two miles or more, where she has won one of nine races. At Class 6 level, where she most often races, she has won just one of eighteen attempts. Lady Phoebe is the kind of horse that keeps a small trainer ticking over, dependable rather than brilliant, and still earning her way at five years old.
