Alshimali
Alshimali is a horse that finds its best form on firm, dry ground and at one particular track. The five-year-old has won twice from twenty-three races in its career — a 9% win rate that marks it as a modest but genuine performer. Both wins have come at Brighton, where it has managed to win two of its four races at that course: a breakthrough victory on 8 August 2025, then another on 16 October 2025. That second win came eleven months ago, and Alshimali has not found the winner's circle since, though it has picked up eight places over that long period and remains active on the track.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs best when conditions are fast and the ground is dry. On firm surfaces, Alshimali wins roughly 2 in every 5 races (40%), a sharp contrast to its overall record. This is the kind of horses-racing cliché that turns out to be grounded in fact: get the ground right and get to the right course, and this horse runs to a different level. It competes mostly in Class 6 races, the lower tiers of British racing, where it has won 2 of 17 (a 12% win rate). Trainer Tony Carroll, based at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, has the horse in a yard that has been prolific this season, sending out 136 winners. William Carson is its most frequent pilot, with a record of 1 win from 9 races together. Neither jockey nor trainer statistics suggest Alshimali is likely to dominate, but the Brighton specialisation and the affinity for firm ground give its the yard two clear angles to work with.
