Sofian
Sofian is a 4-year-old carrying the kind of record that tells a familiar story: one bright moment, then a long stretch of trying and not quite getting there. The horse has won just once in 15 races, at Ffos Las back in August 2025, a victory now 13 months in the past. That single win gives the record a 7% success rate—roughly 1 win in every 14 outings—and since that day at Ffos Las, Sofian has not found the winner's enclosure again. The recent form reads like a struggle: seventh, third, sixth, eighth, second. That second-place finish came just days ago, suggesting the horse is still racing and still competitive enough to run into the places, but the wins have dried up.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The partnership with regular rider Gina Mangan has not clicked, with no victories from their five rides together, though they continue to team up. Sofian performs best at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, winning 1 of every 10 races over that stretch—a marginal edge that suggests the horse finds its footing when not asked to go too far or too short. Trainer Nikki Evans, based at Pandy in Monmouths, has not yet cracked the code with this one. The yard itself is modest, with just two winners sent out so far this season. When Sofian steps up to the highest grade of race it regularly contests—Class 5, one of the tougher amateur and semi-professional tiers—the record flattens to nothing: zero wins from six attempts. It is a horse that has shown it can win, and clearly has the talent to finish in the frame regularly, but something is holding it back from doing so consistently enough to matter.
