Archangel Josepi
Archangel Josepi has yet to find the winner's enclosure, but the three-year-old has shown enough promise in places to suggest there is racing ability lurking somewhere beneath the surface. In thirteen outings, the horse has finished second or third on five occasions without managing to convert any of those near-misses into a victory. Most recently, just a day ago, it finished seventh—a return to the lower end of the form guide after a couple of encouraging finishes in the races before that.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership with jockey Ben Robinson has been steady but unproductive; they have teamed up nine times without a win, though Robinson has clearly stuck with the horse through this barren run. Katie Scott's Galashiels yard has proved itself capable—sending out seventeen winners already this season—so there is no shortage of racing know-how in the corner. Yet Archangel Josepi has found Class 5 racing particularly tough, with no wins from five attempts at that level. The question now is whether a change of approach, a different course, or simply more racecraft with experience will unlock what the recent form hints at: a horse that can get close, but has yet to break through.
