Mr Swivell
Mr Swivell is a five-year-old who knows how to find the winner's enclosure, but only on his own terms. With four wins from 22 races across his career, he wins roughly once every five and a half outings—respectable without being spectacular. What makes him worth watching, though, is how selective his victories are. On normal ground, he has won 2 of his 5 races, a 40 per cent win rate that suggests he has clear preferences about conditions. In Class 4 races—the backbone of British racing, where most horses compete for moderate prize money—he has won 2 from 7, a win rate of 29 per cent that shows he can be competitive at his level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His most recent victory came at Wolverhampton on 31 July 2025, but that was thirteen months ago, and his form since then has been frustratingly patchy. In his last six races, he has managed only one second-place finish and some mid-field efforts, including a twelfth-place result. He raced just a day ago and finished seventh, a decent run but another blank. The partnership with jockey Ray Dawson has been his most fruitful one—they have won 2 from 8 races together, a 25 per cent win rate that beats his overall average. Kevin Philippart De Foy, his trainer at Newmarket, has built an active yard with 40 winners this season, so the infrastructure is there. For Mr Swivell to get back to the winners' circle, he will need the stars to align: a race at his level, normal ground underfoot, and Ray Dawson back in the saddle. Right now, he is waiting for that combination to come around again.
