At 7 years old, he is an experienced campaigner trained by Philip Kirby at East Appleton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has been in excellent form this season with 36 winners sent out. His most regular partner in the saddle is Alistair Rawlinson, and together they have a strong record — 3 wins from 13 races, meaning they win roughly 1 in every 4 times they team up. That is a notably better ratio than The Green Man's overall win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 races, which suggests Rawlinson genuinely gets the best out of him.
He particularly loves Doncaster, where his career began with a first win back in August 2022. Two wins from just 4 races there makes it his best track by some distance — winning half your races anywhere in this sport is extraordinary. Fast, dry ground also suits him well, with 2 wins from 9 races on those conditions — a 22% win rate that comfortably beats his overall average. The simple takeaway: when the ground is dry and the track is Doncaster, he becomes a different proposition.
His most recent win came at Newcastle in December 2025, and his last six races — finishing 7th, 6th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd in that sequence — tell a story of a horse running consistently without quite getting over the line. The placings are there; the wins have dried up for now. But he raced just yesterday and remains very much active, which means Philip Kirby clearly believes there is more to come. Given what this horse has shown at his favourite tracks and on the right ground, that confidence is not without foundation.
