The real encouragement in his recent form lies in his last six races. Across that stretch, he has finished in the placings five times, with only one unplaced run—a pattern that suggests he is genuinely competitive and showing up for his races. His most recent outing, just a day ago, saw him finish fourth, so he remains in the thick of things. Trainer Nicky Richards, based at Greystoke in Cumbria, has found success with him; his yard has sent out 39 winners already this season, and they continue to find races where Lowlands can be competitive.
Danny McMenamin is his regular jockey, partnering him in nine of his eleven races. Together they have won once from those nine rides—a win rate of roughly 1 in 9—which is marginally better than Lowlands's overall record. The horse does tend to struggle in higher-grade races; he has yet to win from five attempts at Class 4 level, but lower down the scale he has found opportunities. Three months have now passed since his May victory at Perth, and while he has remained consistent, another win would confirm that breakthrough was more than a one-off flash.
