Mr Seagull
Mr Seagull won for the first time as a three-year-old at Pontefract in August 2025, and has been chasing that feeling ever since. The horse has raced ten times in total and won just once — a 10% win rate that puts him firmly in the journeyman category. What makes that single victory worth remembering is that it came on debut at a proper track, the kind of start many horses never get. Since then, though, Mr Seagull has found the step up harder. His recent form reads 4-14-5-6-4-4 across his last six outings, a sequence that tells the story of a horse hovering just outside the money without quite breaking through. Those occasional fourth-place finishes suggest he has the ability to be competitive, but consistency has eluded him.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
A year has passed since his sole win, which is a long time in a racing life. Hugo Palmer's yard at Malpas has sent out 67 winners this season, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses to the line, yet Mr Seagull remains stuck on one. That is not for lack of opportunity — he raced just yesterday and is clearly still being given chances to add to his record. At three years old he is still relatively young for a horse, and Palmer may yet find the right race for him. Whether Mr Seagull can rediscover the form that won at Pontefract remains an open question, but the fact he is still out there racing and still being sent to post by a successful yard suggests his the yard have not given up on him yet.
