Ribbon Of Sea

Both wins have come at Wolverhampton, which is worth noting. Some horses simply take to a particular track — the shape of the bends, the surface, the way the race tends to unfold — and Wolverhampton appears to suit Ribbon Of Sea very well. The most recent victory came on 9 March 2026, and with a run just yesterday, this is a horse that is very much in the middle of its season, not winding down.

The trainer is Charlie Appleby, one of the most respected names in British racing, operating out of Newmarket in Suffolk. To give you a sense of the scale of that operation: the yard has sent out 121 winners already this season alone. That is not a stable that puts horses in races just to make up the numbers. When an Appleby horse runs, there is usually a plan behind it, and Ribbon Of Sea's record suggests the plan is working.

The recent form makes for good reading too. Reading right to left — from oldest to newest — the sequence goes 5, 1, 1, 2. A quiet fifth on debut, then two wins back to back, then a runner-up finish last time out. That is the shape of a horse learning fast and improving with every run. The slight dip to second most recently keeps things interesting, but given how well this horse has performed across four races, it would take a brave person to write off its chances next time out.
