Storm Point
Storm Point is a three-year-old who announced himself in style, winning on his very first outing at Kempton Park back in April. That debut victory is rarer than it sounds — plenty of young horses need several races just to figure out what's going on, so winning straight away marks Storm Point out as one who arrived ready to compete.
Ed Walker, who trains him at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, noted at the time that it was a good ride from jockey
Kieran Shoemark that helped things along, but also flagged that Storm Point was still a big, raw horse with plenty of improving to do. That combination — natural talent plus room to grow — is exactly what you want to hear about a young horse.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The record since then tells a mixed but encouraging story. From seven races in total, Storm Point has won twice and finished in the placings twice more, giving him a win rate of 29% — roughly winning 2 in every 7 races. For a horse still finding his feet, that is a solid return. His most recent victory came at Newbury in June, just four weeks ago, and his last run was only yesterday, so this is a horse firmly in the middle of his season rather than one being saved for a special occasion.
The form figures do show some inconsistency — a seventh and a sixth either side of those two wins suggest he is not always at his best — but Ed Walker's yard is in serious form right now, having sent out 76 winners this season alone. When a stable is operating at that kind of volume, they tend to know exactly when and where to place a horse to give it the best chance. Storm Point looks like a horse whose best is still ahead of him.
