The form line tells an interesting story. The pattern of 1-10-1-10 (reading oldest to most recent) shows a horse that alternates between brilliance and disappointment, which will have punters tearing their hair out but also keeps everyone coming back for more. Its first win came at Southwell in February 2026, and it followed that up with another victory at Sedgefield in March — two different tracks, which suggests this isn't simply a horse that has found one particular course to its liking. The Sedgefield win came around five weeks ago, and with a race just yesterday, the team are clearly keeping it busy.
T Ellis operates out of Rugby in Warwickshire and has been in good form this season, sending out 24 winners — a yard firing on all cylinders. Placing a horse that wins half its races into the right opportunities takes judgment, and the results so far suggest the team know exactly what they have on their hands. Whether Desertmore News can iron out those off-days and put together a more consistent run remains the big question, but a 50 per cent win rate from four races is the kind of early-career statistic that makes you pay attention.
