Mountain Mike
There is something quietly admirable about a horse like Mountain Mike — consistent enough to finish in the frame in five of his six career races, yet still chasing that second win. The seven-year-old has placed second or third on four occasions, which tells you he is nearly always competitive, even if the winner's enclosure has felt a little elusive. His one career victory came at Ffos Las in February 2025, and while 14 months is a long time to wait for a repeat, the fact that he keeps showing up in the places suggests the ability is there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His record at the level he mostly competes at is genuinely encouraging. In three races at that tier, he has won one and been placed in others — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races, which is well above average for a racehorse. That suggests he belongs at this level, and possibly that the yard — sorry, that the team around him — have found the right kind of race for him.
Mountain Mike is trained by the partnership of Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole, based at Elmbridge in Worcestershire. The yard has hit 48 winners already this season, so this is not a small operation finding its feet — it is a busy, productive stable that knows how to place horses to win. When a yard that size keeps running a horse, it is usually because they believe a race is coming his way. The most recent form figure is a dash, meaning he has raced very recently and that result is not yet confirmed, which makes him one to watch right now.
