Sunshine And Roses
Sunshine And Roses has the look of a horse that is slowly finding its level. A three-year-old trained by
Jack Channon at West Ilsley, it has taken seventeen attempts to get off the mark, but when it finally did—at Wolverhampton on 21 July—something clicked. That single win came at a distance the horse clearly enjoys. Over races of a mile and one to a mile and two furlongs, Sunshine And Roses has won once from eight attempts, a win rate of 12 per cent. That is more than twice its overall record and suggests the trainer has identified ground where this horse can be competitive.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells a story of improvement and consistency. In its last six runs, the horse has finished second three times, which hints at a horse that is competitive without quite having the turn of foot to close out races. Most encouragingly, it raced just yesterday, meaning Channon is keeping it active and looking for the right spot. The challenge, for now, is that when asked to step up to Class 5—the bigger races—Sunshine And Roses has managed four runs without a win. It is still very much a horse for the smaller races, and that is not a slight; plenty of good horses never rise above that level, and there is nothing wrong with a horse that can pay for its keep in lesser company. At just over two months since its last victory, there is time yet for this three-year-old to add another one.
