Colourband

That one win came at Bath on 5 April 2026, around three weeks ago, and the recent form figure of 6-1-2-3-7 shows a horse that went through a dip, found its best, and has been thereabouts ever since. The 7 at the end of that sequence is the oldest result and the least relevant — what matters is the run of 1-2-3 sitting right in the middle, a horse hitting its stride and finding out what it's capable of.

Colourband is trained by Simon and Ed Crisford out of Newmarket, one of British racing's great headquarters. The Crisford yard has sent out 84 winners already this season, which is the output of an operation running at serious pace — these are trainers who know how to get horses ready to perform, and having a horse like Colourband in that environment matters. With the horse still active — raced just yesterday — there is clearly more to come, and at three years old, the best chapters may not have been written yet.
