Philip Kirby's yard at East Appleton has found a home for this horse, and there is a real partnership with jockey Alistair Rawlinson, who rides The Green Man whenever possible and has won three races from thirteen together—a 23% win rate that towers above the horse's overall 13% win rate of 7 wins from 53 races. When Rawlinson is in the saddle, something clicks. The Green Man is also a course specialist at Doncaster, where it has won twice from five races, a far better return than anywhere else. That is the kind of edge worth noting.
The clearest pattern is ground. The Green Man thrives when the track is fast and dry, winning 2 races from 10 on those conditions—double its overall rate. On softer ground, the horse struggles badly. A return to fast ground with Rawlinson aboard at Doncaster or another favoured track could be when The Green Man reminds everyone why it won at Newcastle and why a seven-year-old that has earned seven wins across its career is still worth following. The recent form shows a horse still capable of running well; the statistics show where it wins best. That is all a racing person needs to know.
