Like Magic
Ten races into its career and Like Magic is still searching for that first win — or even a top-three finish. The five-year-old has drawn a blank in every single outing, with a record of zero wins and zero places from ten attempts. That is a tough run by any measure, and the recent form figures — 11th, 9th, 8th, 12th, 6th, 9th — paint a picture of a horse that has occasionally crept closer to the places but never quite got there. The sixth-place finish stands out as the best of a difficult sequence, though in racing terms it still means coming home without a penny in prize money.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The level Like Magic competes at is Class 4 — the middle tier of British racing, neither the elite end of the sport nor the very bottom rung. It has run three times at that level without troubling the judge once. Dropping down in class might seem like the obvious next step, but for now the team at Rock Farm appear to be persisting with the current approach.
That yard is trained by Mark Loughnane, who operates out of Rock Farm in Worcestershire and has sent out 25 winners already this season — so the stable clearly knows how to get a horse to the winner's enclosure. Like Magic, for whatever reason, has not yet been one of them. The horse raced just yesterday, meaning it is very much an active runner and another outing could come around quickly. Whether a change of tactics, trip, or ground conditions might unlock something remains to be seen. For now, patience seems to be the name of the game.
