Rock On Thunder
Rock On Thunder has had a tough time since that first and only career win came at Leicester back in May 2025. The three-year-old has raced ten times in total and won just once — that 10 per cent win rate tells you this horse is running out of luck more often than not. It has finished in the places (second, third, or fourth) three times, which suggests there is still something there, but the form has been grim: the last six runs have brought nothing but mid-field finishes, with placings at 6th, 15th, 8th, 15th, 6th, and 6th again most recently. That 15th a couple of races back was particularly rough.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What is most telling is that Rock On Thunder has never won a race above standard level. It has tried four times in top-class races and failed to win any of them, finishing out of the places each time. For a horse with only one career victory to its name, competing at that level is a real ask. Trainer Kevin Ryan, based in North Yorkshire, has had a good season overall — his yard has sent out 45 winners — but this particular horse has not been a source of joy. The seventeen-month gap since that Leicester success in May 2025 speaks volumes. Rock On Thunder was out yesterday and is still racing, but finding another win is going to require the right race and probably a drop in class. Right now, the form simply is not there.
