Risen Again

That one career win came at Great Yarmouth on 14 May 2025, and it clearly meant something, because the team have kept Risen Again busy ever since. The trouble is it hasn't been back to the winner's enclosure in the six races since, with recent form reading 3-8-2-2-6-12 going right to left — a mixed picture that includes a couple of encouraging placed efforts but also some disappointing runs. A short break of 36 days since its last outing might be exactly what was needed to freshen things up.

The horse tends to show its best form over distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs — essentially middle distances, where stamina starts to matter. Over those trips it has won 1 from 10 races, a 10% win rate, which is actually double its overall record. That suggests the team have the trip right, even if results haven't always followed. Risen Again typically runs at Class 5, which is the everyday, bread-and-butter level of British racing — not glamorous, but competitive enough that winning even once takes real effort.

Kieran O'Neill rides most often, partnering Risen Again in 8 of its 21 races and picking up that sole win together. Their combined win rate is 12% — 1 win from 8 rides — which is notably better than the horse's overall record and suggests there's a real understanding between the two. The yard itself, run by John and Rhys Flint out of Kenfig Hill in Bridgend, has sent out 7 winners this season, so there's form in the stable. Risen Again may not be their star act, but in a small operation every winner counts, and they'll know better than anyone that this horse is capable of finding the finish line on the right day.
