The standout fact about Fortamour is his dominance at Ripon. He has won 5 of his 26 races there — a win rate of nearly 20 per cent — making him a genuinely useful horse on the Yorkshire circuit. His first career victory came at Ripon on 14 April 2022, and he has returned to the winner's enclosure there repeatedly since. Away from Ripon, however, he is far less effective, which makes that track a natural target for Ben Haslam's Middleham Moor yard.
Recent form has been testing. Fortamour has not won in his last six races, finishing 16th, 7th, 2nd, 12th, 11th and 6th in his most recent outings. That mid-field 2nd place is encouraging — it shows he is still competitive — but eight months have passed since his last victory at Newcastle on 22 November 2025. At ten years old, he remains active, racing just a day ago, and he performs best on normal ground, where he has won 2 of 9 races. Joanna Mason, his regular jockey, has won 3 of 17 races aboard him, a win rate of 18 per cent, fractionally better than his overall record. For a horse nearing the back end of his career, Fortamour remains a useful tool for trainers — especially on the tracks and ground that suit him.
