Seraphic
Seraphic is a six-year-old who has found his level in the lower classes and is riding a wave of form that suggests he has more to offer. The horse has won five times from 37 races, which works out to roughly one victory in every seven outings. That is not a stellar win rate on paper, but what matters is what he is doing now: he has won two of his last six races, including a victory at Stratford-on-Avon just this week. That kind of momentum is real, and it says something about his current fitness and confidence.Based on TrackLab's analysis

📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Seraphic typically races in Class 6, where he has won three of 22 races — exactly his career average. The yard trained by David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, based at Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire, has been prolific this season with 18 winners to their name. When Luke Morris has the ride, things improve noticeably: the jockey has ridden Seraphic seven times and won twice, a 29 per cent win rate that is nearly double the horse's usual form. That partnership is worth watching on race days, because clearly they work well together. The horse was active as recently as yesterday, so he is in the thick of campaign now, and with recent wins and a trainer's yard firing on all cylinders, there is real reason to keep an eye on what comes next.
