The more recent win came at Leicester on 27 May 2025, a success now 17 months in the past. Since then, Toy Soldier has raced six times without finding the winner's enclosure, finishing outside the top three in five of those starts. The most recent outing, just yesterday, resulted in an eighth-place finish, continuing a lean patch that suggests the horse may be working at the upper limit of its ability. Most of its races have come at Class 4 level — competitive but not elite company — yet it has drawn a blank in all six attempts at that grade, a sign that even among that tier, Toy Soldier struggles to compete.
Trained by the prolific Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's yard at Milnathort in Perth and Kinross — a operation that has sent out 49 winners this season — Toy Soldier has been partnered most often by Liam Wright, though the pair have yet to record a success together across five attempts. The horse remains active and in regular work, but without a win since May 2024 and recent form showing mostly mid-field and rear finishes, it appears to be treading water rather than progressing.
