Megaphone
Megaphone is a four-year-old who wins roughly once every twelve races overall — a modest win rate that masks something more interesting about his profile. At Class 5 level, where he typically runs, he has won two of his eight races, a 25% win rate that suggests he is capable of competing at his usual grade. But the numbers also tell a harsher story: his last two wins came nearly two years apart, the first at Kempton Park in January 2025 and the second at Wolverhampton in February, and he has not won since. Over his past six races, his recent form reads 6-6-5-9-11-4 — a stretch in which he has managed just one top-3 finish, a 4th place in his most recent outing just over a day ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trainer Scott Dixon, who is based at Rolleston in Nottinghamshire, has been working with Megaphone through this lean spell. Dixon's yard has sent out 33 winners this season and continues to hold plans for the horse. The trainer has indicated that Megaphone disappointed at Wolverhampton but remains confident about running him at six furlongs on the turf next time — terrain and distance that may suit him better than his recent all-weather form suggests. Before that, Dixon is considering the All-Weather Finals Day, which features a £150,000 handicap race for three-year-olds, as a possible next target. For now, Megaphone remains active and competing, though a 20-month gap between wins means he will need to rediscover form soon if he is to justify the stable's continued backing.
