Warner's Cross

Warner's Cross is the kind of horse that keeps showing up and occasionally delivers—a 9-year-old campaigner who has won 2 of his 16 races and placed in 6 others, a return that suggests genuine ability mixed with the kind of inconsistency that defines mid-level racing. Trained by Sophie Leech at her Gloucestershire yard, he is currently active and still competing hard; he raced just a day ago and won four weeks back at Uttoxeter on 26 July, a victory that underlines he has not lost his appetite for winning.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

What makes Warner's Cross worth watching is his recent form. In his last six outings, he has finished second, then placed fifth, with a win sandwiched between—a pattern that shows he can strike when the conditions suit. At Class 5 level, where most of his races happen, he has won 1 of 8, sitting exactly at the yard's overall mark of 12 percent—roughly 1 win in every 8 races. That consistency across different race cards suggests he is neither a fluke winner nor completely out of his depth; he is a horse that belongs in these races and occasionally beats them. His win rate across his entire career tells the same story: 2 wins from 16 starts works out at roughly 1 win in every 8 races, the mark of a horse reliable enough to take on at the right moment but not one to back blindly. For a 9-year-old still racing and still capable of finding the winner's circle, that is a perfectly respectable living.
