Stiletto
Stiletto is a horse that has found his rhythm with the right jockey. Now eight years old, she has won 4 of her 41 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in 10 — but the real story lies in what happens when
Sean Bowen climbs into the saddle. Together they have won 3 of 8 races (38%), a win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record and suggests they bring out the best in each other. Trainer
Sophie Leech, based near Elton in Gloucestershire, has clearly identified this partnership as one worth nurturing.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Stiletto broke his duck at Newton Abbot back in June 2025 and has since picked up three more wins, most recently at Worcester eight weeks ago. He typically races at Class 5 level, where he has won 3 of 27 races (11%). His recent form has been patchy — a third-place finish last time out before that, but surrounded by runs outside the placings — yet he was back in action just a day ago, suggesting there is still appetite to run his regularly. For a horse of his age and experience, that consistency of opportunity reflects faith from the yard. At Class 5, Stiletto is a legitimate contender on her day, particularly when Bowen is aboard; the challenge is hitting that form consistently enough to justify the effort.
