Wild Goose
Wild Goose picked up his second career win just this week at Southwell, giving the Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls yard another reason to smile during what has been a strong season at their Cheltenham base. The six-year-old has only won twice from eleven races so far, but he is clearly showing signs of genuine progress. His recent form reads like a horse starting to find his feet: two wins in his last six outings, including that victory this week, with three places in that same spell. He is not a horse putting together a flawless run, but he is a horse that is winning when it matters.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What sets Wild Goose apart is his consistency over the distances that suit him. When running between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, he wins roughly two in every five races — that is a 40% win rate over what appears to be his ideal trip. Compare that to his record in Class 4 races, where he has won none from four attempts, and you see a horse that performs better against slightly less demanding company. Tom Bellamy has ridden him five times and won once, which aligns with Wild Goose's overall pattern of being capable but not elite. This is a horse that knows how to win, but only in the right circumstances. The Southwell victory this week suggests the yard has found those circumstances again, and with two wins in his last six races, Wild Goose appears to be genuinely climbing rather than simply treading water. Whether he can sustain this form remains to be seen, but for now, he is giving his the yard something tangible to work with.
