Sargent Dennis
Sargent Dennis is a 3-year-old still hunting for his second career win, having tasted success just once in nine races. That breakthrough came back in May at Windsor, but it has been five months since, and the horse has drawn a blank in his last six outings. His recent form reads 9-12-4-8-7-2 (most recent first), which includes a couple of top-3 finishes but mostly mid-field efforts — the kind of pattern that suggests a horse caught between levels, no longer competitive at the easier tracks where he won but perhaps not quite ready for the next step up. With only one win from nine races, he sits on an 11 per cent win rate, or roughly one victory per nine attempts. That is a modest record, though not unusual for a young horse still finding his way.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
He runs for Jack Channon's West Ilsley yard, a Berkshire training operation that has enjoyed a strong season, sending out 46 winners so far. Channon is a respected trainer who knows how to develop three-year-olds, and the fact that he is persisting with Sargent Dennis suggests the horse still has something to offer. With racing regularly — he was last seen just a day ago — the horse is clearly being given opportunities to get back to winning ways. Whether he can return to the form that earned him victory at Windsor remains to be seen, but at three years old, time is still on his side.
