Morte Point

Morte Point is a four-year-old who has learned how to win, but is currently in a frustrating rut. The horse has taken 5 victories from 21 races — a respectable 1 win in every 4 outings — yet hasn't found the winner's circle in half a year. Its last victory came at Chepstow on 3 July, a Class 4 race that showed exactly what this horse can do when conditions suit. At that level, Morte Point is genuinely dangerous: it has won 3 of its 7 Class 4 races, a win rate of better than 4 in 10. Drop it into that competition and it performs. Stretch it higher, or face tougher horses, and the wins dry up.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

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

The recent form tells the story of a horse searching for another breakthrough. In its last six races, it has finished 17th, 9th, 8th, 10th, 14th, and 6th — solid enough at points, but no moment of dominance. What makes those numbers matter is that Morte Point was still active as recently as yesterday, which means the yard is looking for the next opportunity, not resting on what came before.

Jockey Lewis Edmunds has been the key to unlocking this horse's potential. In eight races together, Edmunds has steered Morte Point to three wins — a 38% win rate that is far above the horse's overall 24% average. That partnership suggests the horse runs better for him, or that Edmunds simply knows how to ride it. The trainer William Muir & Chris Grassick, based in Lambourn, has had a decent season with 20 winners already, so the yard has form and momentum. Morte Point's job now is to find another Class 4 race where it can remember how to win, and to get back in the saddle with Edmunds on board.
