See The Fire
See The Fire is a five-year-old with a knack for turning up when it matters most. The horse has won five races from 19 attempts — a respectable 26% win rate — but the headline number masks something more interesting: it has found a home at York, where it has won three of four races. That kind of dominance at a single track is rare and valuable. Most recently, See The Fire won a Class 1 race there on 14 May this year, less than three months ago, and before that claimed another top-tier victory on the same course in August 2024. For a horse that typically wins only two of every fourteen Class 1 races it runs in, this York record stands out as genuinely special.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse performs best over distances between one mile and three furlongs and one mile and four furlongs, winning three of five races at those trips, and it thrives on normal ground conditions, winning three of five when the surface is standard rather than soft or firm. Trainer Andrew Balding, based at Kingsclere in Hampshire, has built a winning yard this season with 202 winners to his name, and jockey Oisin Murphy has ridden See The Fire to three wins from twelve races together. The partnership clearly clicks.
Recent form has been mixed. See The Fire raced six days ago and finished third, and before that showed a run of results that included a win and two fourth-place finishes in its last six outings. It has won two of those six races, which tells you the horse remains competitive but is not in the kind of red-hot form that suggests another York breakthrough is imminent. Still, at a track where it has proven it belongs in the best company, See The Fire remains a horse worth watching.
