Persian Spring
Persian Spring is a two-year-old still finding its feet, with just one win from four races but the kind of recent form that suggests better things might be coming. The horse broke its duck at York on 14 May, a breakthrough that came at an important moment — young horses need that first success to build on, and Persian Spring grabbed it at a track that suits plenty of runners. Since then, form has been patchy: a fifth place, a winning effort strong enough for second, then a couple of further back finishes including a tenth just last time out. That's the sort of up-and-down pattern you'd expect from a horse still learning, though the second place finish shows it can still find form on the track.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by R Hannon at Herridge in Wiltshire, Persian Spring is part of a yard that has already sent out 118 winners this season — Hannon runs a major operation and clearly knows how to get horses ready. The gap since that York win, three months now, is worth noting; fresh horses can either come back sharper or lose rhythm depending on the work they've had in between. At just four races into its career with a 25 per cent win rate, Persian Spring is still very much a work in progress, but the pedigree of the yard and that early success suggest the horse has potential worth watching.
