Torrent
Torrent is a five-year-old that has worked hard for its two career wins but struggled to find the same form in the past two years. Both victories came within six weeks of each other in the summer of 2024—first at Uttoxeter on 28 July, then at Newton Abbot six weeks later—but since September that year, the horse has not won in 18 races. It has shown up in the placings regularly (finishing second, third, or fourth in 15 of its 25 outings), which suggests consistent racing but also a growing gap between almost-winning and actually winning. Over that drought, Torrent has managed just one or two near-misses in its last six runs, with a pair of third-place finishes mixed in with lower placings.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse races best at distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, where it has won 1 from 5 races (a 20% win rate at those trips). At Class 4 level—a mid-tier grade—it has won 2 from 7 races (29%), which is respectable and suggests the horse is ideally suited to that standard. Torrent is most often ridden by David Noonan, and together they have a record of 2 wins from 12 races (17% win rate), which is above the horse's overall win rate and hints that the jockey understands how to get the best from it. The trainer, Nigel Hawke, is based in Stoodleigh, Devon, and has sent 12 winners out from his yard this season, so there is competent horsemanship behind Torrent's career. Raced actively as recently as yesterday, Torrent remains in work and searching for a third win—a target that may come sooner if it can rediscover the form that made it successful at the right track and distance with its preferred jockey aboard.
