Sea Lantern
Sea Lantern is a 4-year-old horse that has found its rhythm lately, winning 2 of its last 5 races and placing in the other three — a sequence that shows real consistency and a horse doing better at each outing. The horse was off the mark for the first time at Roscommon in early September 2025, and a year later it struck again at Pontefract just three weeks ago, suggesting it is improving with age and experience. Across its career, Sea Lantern has won 2 races and placed in 5 others from just 5 starts — a win rate of 40 percent — which is a genuinely strong record for any horse this early in its racing life.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The key to understanding Sea Lantern's potential lies in distance. When asked to race beyond a mile and a half — roughly 1m6f to 2m — the horse has won 2 of 3 attempts, a win rate of 67 percent. That is a horse that thrives when given ground to work with, suggesting the trainer Brian Ellison has found the sweet spot. Ellison trains from Norton in North Yorkshire and has sent out 43 winners already this season, so Sea Lantern is in a yard doing good business. The horse is active now, having raced just a day ago, which means opportunities should come around quickly. With two wins in its last five outings and a clear preference for longer distances, Sea Lantern looks like a horse on an upward curve.
