Solar Cooper
That maiden win came on his fifth race, and in the four months since, he has managed just one top-six finish from five outings — a sixth place at Ripon ten days ago. With one win and two places from eleven races so far, he wins roughly once every eleven attempts, which suggests he remains firmly in the proving stage.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
The horse's recent form reads 10-6-9-6-1-10, a sequence that shows occasional glimmers of promise sandwiched between runs when he has finished well out of the frame. That sole top-three finish in his last six — a win four months back — is starting to feel like a distant memory. Mark Walford's Sheriff Hutton yard, which has sent out 35 winners this season, will be hoping Solar Cooper can rediscover the form that worked at Ripon on that May afternoon. He raced again just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keen to keep him busy and find the right race where he might click. At this stage of his career, the three-year-old is very much a work in progress.
