Prince Of Calypso

Over his last six races, Prince Of Calypso has shown enough consistency to hint at potential without ever quite putting it together. He's finished in the places on four occasions — three third-place finishes and one second — but that early fifth-place effort, his most recent run, suggests he may be struggling slightly with the immediate aftermath of his breakthrough win. A win rate of 1 in 6 races is modest, but for a young horse still learning the game, having that win in the bank matters. It proves he can get there.

Edward Bethell's Middleham yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 61 winners, so Prince Of Calypso is in a stable clearly hitting its targets. Whether this horse becomes a regular winner or remains a occasional success story will likely be determined over the coming weeks. He's active, he's racing often, and he knows what it takes to win. That's the foundation.
