Temple Of Athena

The partnership with jockey Ben Robinson has been the key relationship here. In seven races together, Robinson has guided Temple Of Athena to all three of its career wins — that is 3 wins from 7 rides, or wins in 43% of their shared outings. For context, that means nearly every other time these two line up together, they are coming home in front. That kind of chemistry between horse and rider is rare, and it suggests Robinson understands exactly how this horse needs to be ridden.

Temple Of Athena is trained by Brian Ellison, whose yard at Norton in North Yorkshire has been in red-hot form this season — 43 winners and counting. A trainer firing at that rate tends to have his horses spot-on, and Temple Of Athena's recent record reflects a yard operating with confidence. The horse's career began at Beverley in July 2025, and its most recent win came at Wolverhampton on 17 March 2026, eight weeks ago.

The recent form figures tell an interesting story: that most recent sequence reads 8-10-7-1-3-6, which means after winning last time out before this run of six, the horse has been finishing midfield to well beaten. The 1 buried in that sequence — a win — is the obvious highlight, but the 8s and 10s either side of it are a reminder that this is a horse that needs things to fall right. Currently racing just one day ago, Temple Of Athena is clearly being kept busy, and with the Ellison yard in full flow and Ben Robinson likely in the saddle, another good run cannot be ruled out.
