Trained by Edward Bethell at Middleham in North Yorkshire, Persian Spirit broke through at Newbury in early September 2024, then went on to record a more recent win at Kempton Park in May 2025. That victory at Kempton now sits 17 months in the past, however, and recent form has been inconsistent. The last six outings have yielded a sixth place, two fifth-place finishes, a seventh, a fourth, and a win. That mix of mid-field results and one bright moment is the pattern of a horse that has something to offer on the day but struggles for consistency. The horse was last seen a day ago, so it remains actively campaigned—still chasing that third career win.
Bethell's yard has fired in 61 winners this season, suggesting the trainer knows his business, and Persian Spirit fits the profile of a useful Class 4 prospect that will provide its the yard with the occasional good day out if kept in the right races.
