Triple Force

Triple Force does its best work on normal ground conditions — dry enough to move freely, not so firm it rattles the joints. Three wins from 12 races on that surface works out to 1 in every 4, which is a genuinely strong return and a useful thing to know if you're watching the weather ahead of a race day. Strip away the wet or dry extremes and this horse becomes a different proposition.

The partnership with jockey William Pyle is worth paying attention to. Two wins from 8 races together gives them a 25% win rate — winning 1 in every 4 times they've teamed up. That's well above Triple Force's overall average, and it suggests Pyle has worked out how to get the best from this horse. When that combination is declared, it's a more compelling entry than the bare statistics alone might suggest.

Craig Lidster trains the horse from his yard in Norton, North Yorkshire, and the operation has been in solid form this season with 20 winners sent out. That's a yard running at a healthy clip, and it means Triple Force is being prepared by a team that clearly knows how to get a horse ready to perform.

The recent run of form tells an interesting story: a win, then two quiet efforts, then a sharp drop back to a disappointing tenth, before a recovery into the places in the last couple of runs. Triple Force last won at Musselburgh in October 2025 — nine months ago now — and that gap will be on every punter's mind. But the horse raced just yesterday and is clearly fit and active. The first win of its career came at Nottingham in June 2025, so the timeline is still relatively short. Whether another win is coming soon is the question, but on the right ground with Pyle aboard, the ingredients are at least pointing in the right direction.
