Risen Again

That sole victory came at Great Yarmouth in May 2025, and it remains the high point of a career that has otherwise been defined by near-misses and mid-field finishes. Trained by John and Rhys Flint out of their yard in Kenfig Hill, Bridgend — a setup that has sent out 8 winners already this season — Risen Again competes mostly at Class 5 level, which is the bread-and-butter end of British racing. At that level, the horse has won just 1 from 16 races, a 6% win rate, so even among modest company this hasn't been an easy horse to win with.

The distance that suits Risen Again best is somewhere between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four — a stamina test rather than a sprint. Over those trips, the record reads 1 win from 11 races, which is again a slim return, but it's where the horse has shown its best. Jockey Kieran O'Neill has been the regular partner, riding Risen Again in 8 of those 24 races and steering the horse to that Great Yarmouth win — together they've won 1 from 8, which works out at roughly 1 in every 8 rides together, a shade better than the horse's overall average.

Recent form hasn't given much to shout about. In the last six races, Risen Again has finished 2nd, 6th, 12th, 11th, 6th and 6th — listed most recent first, meaning that second place is the closest thing to a bright spot in a run that's otherwise been forgettable. The horse raced just yesterday, so it's clearly being kept busy. Whether another day like Great Yarmouth is coming is the question the Flint yard will be asking — but with a career record this lean, every run feels like a search for that elusive second chapter.
