Morte Point

The recent form is where it gets genuinely exciting. Looking at the last six races — most recent first — the string reads 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1. Three wins in that sequence, plus two runner-up finishes. That is a horse operating at or very near its best right now. The career started to take shape with a first win at Salisbury in July 2024, and the most recent success came at Southwell in October 2025. In between, Morte Point has quietly built a profile that is hard to argue with: 4 wins from 12 races means it wins roughly 1 in every 3 it enters.

The partnership with jockey Lewis Edmunds is worth flagging. In six races together, they have won three — that is 50%, or one win for every two rides. That is an unusually productive combination, and it suggests Edmunds knows exactly how to get the best from this horse. When the two are reunited, it tends to be good news for those watching.

In terms of where and how Morte Point operates, the picture is clear. Races run over seven furlongs to a mile suit it best, and over that trip the record stands at 3 wins from 6 races — again, bang on 50%. The yard at Lambourn has been in fine form this season with 21 winners sent out, so Morte Point is no accident — it is part of a genuinely productive operation. The horse typically runs at Class 4 level, one or two rungs below the biggest races in Britain, and has won 3 of 7 at that grade. That is 43%, or nearly 3 wins in every 7 attempts, which marks it out as a consistent performer at that level rather than a horse scraping through.

With a race just one day ago, Morte Point is bang in the middle of its season. Whatever comes next, this is a horse in form, well-handled, and very much worth following.
