Both wins came in a tight two-month window in autumn 2025 — first at Stratford-on-Avon in late October, then at Uttoxeter in late November. That run of form represents the best of what Soldier's Leap can do, and it's the version the team at T Ellis's yard in Rugby will be hoping to see again. Ellis has had a productive season, sending out 24 winners, which tells you this is a functioning, active operation that knows how to get a horse ready to win.
The most telling detail in the profile, though, is this: in five attempts at Class 4 level — which represents a standard, competitive tier of British racing — Soldier's Leap has yet to win. Zero from five. Both career victories actually came in different conditions or company, which raises a genuine question about whether the horse is being asked to do something slightly beyond its sweet spot when pitched at that level. Jockey Mr Jack Andrews has been aboard for six of those races and shares both wins, giving him a 33% win rate with this horse — wins 1 in every 3 rides together — which is a solid partnership worth noting.
Soldier's Leap raced just yesterday, so this is a horse in the middle of a campaign rather than one building towards something. The two recent seconds suggest it's competitive without quite finding that finishing kick. Whether it can add a third win and finally crack Class 4 is the question worth following.
