At eight years old, Prince Ali is a seasoned campaigner who has seen it all. He has finished in the places 14 times without winning — so he has been competitive far more often than his win total suggests. The bulk of his racing has come at Class 6 level, where he has won 3 from 26 races, and that is broadly the right company for him. He is not a horse chasing big prize money; his job is to be competitive at his level, and at Wolverhampton in particular, he has shown he can do exactly that.
His last win came at Wolverhampton in March 2025, and his recent form since then makes for sobering reading: finishing 4th, 11th, 9th, 7th, 8th, and 7th in his last six races. That 4th place at least suggests there was a spark not long ago, but the trend since has been heading in the wrong direction. He has had a short break of 41 days, which sometimes freshens a horse up — though at his age and with this recent form, it would be optimistic to read too much into a rest.
The partnership with jockey Miss Zoe Lewis is worth noting. She has ridden him 13 times and come away with 2 wins together — winning roughly 1 in every 6 of their shared rides, which is notably better than his overall rate of 1 in 10. Thomas Faulkner's yard in Monmouthshire has sent out 17 winners this season, so the operation is in decent shape. The question is simply whether Prince Ali has another Wolverhampton win left in him — and given his record there, you would not rule it out entirely.
