His recent form shows real promise. In his last six races he has won twice, finished second once, and placed three times — that is active, engaged racing, the sort of pattern that suggests his trainer, Linda Perratt, has him tuned and ready. When he runs on normal or slightly soft ground, the figures improve slightly: he wins roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races on those surfaces, which is better than his career average. Ridden most often by Harry Russell, the pair have won 2 of their 12 races together, a respectable 17 per cent partnership rate that sits comfortably above Sixcor's baseline.
Perratt's East Kilbride yard has been in good form this season with 19 winners already, and Sixcor has proven a useful contributor at Class 6 level, where he has taken 8 of his 10 career victories from 59 races. This is where he belongs — where he is competitive — and his win at Wolverhampton this week proves he still has appetite and ability. At eight, many horses are winding down, but Sixcor is still fighting, still winning, and still worth watching when he next runs.
