Alcarath
Alcarath is a four-year-old still waiting for his moment. With just one win from eight races, he is not yet the horse his trainer
Alan King will be hoping to develop, but there are enough hints in his recent form to suggest he is not without ability.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That sole victory came at Epsom Downs on 28 September 2025 — now eleven months in the past. Since then, Alcarath has picked up four places from six races, which shows consistency of a sort, but also tells you he is struggling to find the winner's circle. His most recent run, just one day ago, saw him return to the frame with a second-place finish, suggesting he is at least competitive at his current level.
The clearest pattern in Alcarath's record emerges at specific distances and race grades. Over 1m3f to 1m4f — roughly a mile and a quarter to a mile and a half — he wins roughly one in every three races (1 win from 3 races). That is a markedly better win rate than his overall figures, and it points to a horse who may be running most effectively when given a bit of ground. At Class 4 level, his record reads the same: 1 win from 3 races (33%). These numbers suggest that when conditions align — the right distance, the right grade — Alcarath is capable of competing. King's Wroughton yard has sent out 57 winners this season, so the infrastructure for improvement is there. The question now is whether Alcarath can find his form again and turn those placings into wins.
