Liam Mera Kai
Liam Mera Kai has tasted victory once in nine races—a win at Warwick back in March 2025 that now sits eighteen months in the past. The five-year-old, trained by
Warren Greatrex at Upper Lambourn, has collected a handful of places alongside that single success, but breaking through again has proved difficult. His recent form reads 2-3-5-–-3-2 across his last six outings, which tells the story of a horse that runs consistently without delivering the goods: respectable finishes, but no wins.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is how much distance suits him. Over two miles or longer, Liam Mera Kai has won 1 of 3 races—a 33% conversion rate that stands in sharp contrast to his overall record of 1 win from 9. The problem lies in stepping up in class. At Class 4 level, where he typically competes, he has drawn a blank in five attempts. This suggests he may have found his level: competitive enough to place regularly, but not quite sharp enough to win in stronger fields. Greatrex's yard has enjoyed a successful season with fifty winners, but Liam Mera Kai remains one of the more modest operators. Still active after racing just a day ago, he remains a genuine competitor at the right conditions—long distances, lower grades—even if a return to the winner's circle looks a long way off.
