St Mawes
St Mawes is a 4-year-old that
George Scott trains at Newmarket, and right now he is running better than his record suggests. Over his last six races, he has finished in the money five times — coming fourth only once. That is solid form. His career tally reads 2 wins and 6 places from 12 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 and a half races, which marks him out as a genuine competitor at his level rather than a flash in the pan.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse clearly has a distance sweet spot. Over the longer trips — from a mile and six furlongs to two miles — St Mawes has won 1 of 4 races, a win rate of 1 in 4. That is the kind of consistency that allows a trainer to plan ahead. He won his first race at Kempton Park in September 2025 and found the winner's circle again at Nottingham in October, eleven months ago now. The gap since that Nottingham victory is long, but his recent placings suggest he has not lost form; he is simply running into stronger opposition or tougher luck. His best results have come in Class 4 races — the lower grade — where he has won 1 of 3, a near-perfect win rate at that level. Scott's yard is in excellent shape this season with 52 winners to their name, and St Mawes fits the mould of a horse that could slip back into the winner's enclosure any time soon. He was racing just yesterday, so there is momentum building.
