Alshimali
Alshimali is a five-year-old who knows how to win when conditions suit, but the wins do not come often. The horse has 2 wins from 22 races—roughly winning 1 in every 11 outings—and has now gone 10 months without a victory, last winning at Brighton back in October 2025. That said, there is a clear pattern to Alshimali's success: the horse thrives on fast, dry ground, winning 2 of its 5 races on such surfaces (a 40% win rate), and Brighton is genuinely its track, with 2 wins from just 4 races there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Tony Carroll's yard at Cropthorne has been prolific this season with 136 winners overall, but Alshimali remains a modest performer at Class 6 level, where it has won twice from 17 starts. The most recent six races tell the story of a horse struggling to recapture form: a second place, then two blanks, a sixth, another blank, and a third just over a week ago. William Carson, who rides the horse regularly (1 win from 9 races together), has not found an answer either. The glimmer of hope for the yard is straightforward: find Alshimali a dry-ground race back at Brighton, and the horse has shown it knows how to win there. Without those exact conditions and that familiar course, it looks like a hard horse to back at present. Alshimali remains active, so another chance may come soon.
