Spirit Of Lyra
Spirit Of Lyra is still finding its feet as a two-year-old, but the early signs are encouraging. The horse has won one of its three races so far, with a second place and a fourth rounding out a record that shows genuine promise. Last summer it broke through for a first career win at Lingfield Park on 25 July, and while a fourth-place finish four days ago suggests it hit a bad day at the track, the win came from a horse that clearly knows how to finish in front.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by William Knight at Newmarket, Spirit Of Lyra is in a yard that's been firing on all cylinders this season—Knight has sent out 28 winners already, a sign the stable is in form and the young horse is getting expert guidance. At this early stage of a two-year-old's career, a one-in-three record is solid. It means the horse has shown enough to win, placed twice, and while that recent fourth is a bump in the road, it's exactly the kind of mixed form you'd expect from a juvenile still learning the game. With racing still to come, Spirit Of Lyra has time to work out what it's capable of.
