The horse's best performance came at Newbury in September 2024, where it landed its first career win in a Class 2 race. Newbury is a track that rewards quality, and winning there at that level is no small thing. It followed that up with another success at Doncaster in June 2025, suggesting a horse that was building nicely and finding its feet at a serious grade.
Since then, though, the wheels have come off somewhat. Regal Ulixes hasn't won in its last six races, with recent finishes of 6th, 7th, and 3rd offering flashes without the result to match. A 3rd place in that run suggests the ability hasn't deserted it, but converting that into a win has proven elusive. It raced just yesterday, so it is clearly fit and active — the Balding team evidently believe there is more to come.
One detail worth watching is its record over a mile and one or two furlongs, where it has won 1 from 3 races — a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in 3. That is noticeably better than its overall numbers and suggests this is a horse that has a preferred distance at which it genuinely comes alive. Get it back over that trip in the right conditions, and another win would not be a surprise.
