Ziggy's Missile

The course record at Southwell tells a similar story. Three wins from 7 races there, a 43% win rate, is the sort of dominance that suggests the track genuinely suits how this horse moves and races. Whether it is the surface, the layout, or simply familiarity, Ziggy's Missile has made Southwell something of a home ground. The first career win came there on 12 March 2024, and the track has remained kind ever since.

At Class 4 level — the solid middle ground of British racing, not the very top but far from the bottom — Ziggy's Missile has won 5 from 11 races, a 45% win rate that is extremely strong. This is a horse that knows its level and performs well within it. Robert Cowell's yard has sent out 24 winners this season, so it is clearly a busy, functioning operation, and Ziggy's Missile has been part of that picture.

The one note of caution is recent form. The last win came at Chelmsford in June 2025, and in the six races since, the best finish has been a fifth. The numbers for the current run — 9-5-4-5-5-8 — show a horse that has been hitting the places occasionally but not threatening to win. Luke Morris, who rides it most often and has one win together from six attempts, will be looking to rediscover that sharp, front-running zip that makes this horse so effective at its best. Given that Ziggy's Missile raced just one day ago, the yard will have a clear sense of where it stands right now — and if the sprinting specialists at Southwell come back into the diary, this is a name worth remembering.
