Kempton Park is where this horse has left its clearest mark. Nine races there, two wins, and consistent form that suggests genuine comfort with the place. The most recent win came on 21 April 2025, and the horse was out again just nine days ago, which means it is actively racing and apparently sound. Kyle Strydom, the rider most often associated with Metaverse, has won once in five outings together—a number too small to draw firm conclusions, but worth noting if you're tracking which jockey gets the best out of this horse.
The worry is the recent form. Metaverse has not won in the last six races. The placings have been decent—a third, a sixth, a second, another sixth, a third, and a seventh—but there is no winner in there. At Class 4 level, where Metaverse typically runs, the horse has won just once in 12 races. David Menuisier's Pulborough yard is in decent form with 25 winners this season, so the training is not the problem. What matters now is whether Metaverse is still the horse that lit up on soft ground at Kempton, or whether that version belongs to the past.
