Little Tiger

Both of Little Tiger's career wins have come with Edward Greatrex in the saddle, and together they have a remarkable record: 2 wins from just 6 races, meaning Greatrex wins 1 in every 3 times he rides this horse. That is an extraordinary hit rate for a partnership at this level, and it is the kind of stat that makes you wonder why they are not reunited more often. Their most recent win together came at Brighton in October 2024 — now twenty months ago — and finding that form again is clearly the goal.

Little Tiger competes mostly in Class 6 races, which are the entry-level contests in British racing, and has won 2 from 14 at that level, or around 1 in every 7. That is not a dominant record, but it is consistent with a horse that knows its place in the pecking order and occasionally delivers. The distance that suits it best appears to be somewhere between a mile and a mile and two furlongs, where it has won 1 from 6 races — not prolific, but targeted correctly it is clearly competitive.

Trained by William Stone out of West Wickham in Cambridgeshire, Little Tiger is part of a yard that has sent out 10 winners already this season, so the operation knows what it is doing. The recent run of six races without a win — including finishes of 13th and 8th — suggests the horse is going through a flat patch, but a fourth and two thirds in that same sequence show it has not completely lost its way.

Crucially, Little Tiger raced just yesterday, which means it is very much in the thick of things right now. A horse that active, with a proven partner in Greatrex and the right trip, is always worth a second look.
