Nursia
Nursia has won just once in six career races, but that single victory at Newcastle in January 2026 remains the bright spot in an otherwise modest record for the three-year-old. With one win and two top-3 finishes from six attempts, the horse is winning roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races — solid enough at the lower levels, but nothing that suggests a star in the making.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is Nursia's preference for shorter distances. Over 5f to 6½f, the horse has won 1 of 4 races (25%), which is genuinely encouraging and suggests these trips suit better than longer ones. That single career win came at Newcastle in January, and after nine months without another victory, recent form has been inconsistent — a fifth-place finish just yesterday, preceded by a second place, then an eighth. For Kevin Ryan's yard at Hambleton, which has sent out 45 winners this season, Nursia remains a work in progress rather than a headline act, but the occasional flash of ability keeps the case for improvement alive.
