Angel Hunter
Angel Hunter spent nearly two years chasing his first win before everything clicked at York in late August 2024, when he landed a Class 2 prize on his twenty-second race. It was a breakthrough moment for the four-year-old, but since then he has not won again—his last six races have yielded nothing better than a fourth place. That said, he did break back into the winners' circle more recently with a narrow victory at Lingfield Park four months ago, showing enough promise that his trainer
Richard Hannon clearly believes better days are still ahead.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes Angel Hunter interesting is his relationship with specific conditions and the rider who understands him best. On normal, standard ground he is a different horse entirely: he has won 2 of his 3 races on those surfaces, a win rate of roughly two-thirds. Paired with Sean Levey, his most frequent partner, he has a remarkable record of 3 wins from 8 races together—a 38% success rate that is far above his overall 20% career average and suggests real tactical understanding between horse and jockey. His Class 3 races tell a similar story: 2 wins from 8 attempts there show he can compete at that level when things align. Hannon's powerful yard, which has already sent out 118 winners this season from Herridge in Wiltshire, clearly sees potential in Angel Hunter too. The trainer mentioned his recent Lingfield win as a springboard for bigger targets, including major handicaps and potentially even the Hunt Cup, which hints at genuine optimism about his future. At the moment Angel Hunter is a horse caught between promise and inconsistency, but his recent form and the backing of a top-class jockey and trainer suggest he is one solid run away from a proper winning streak.
