Artagnan
Artagnan is a 4-year-old with a modest record but one genuinely striking piece of form: a win in a Class 2 race at Goodwood back in August 2024. That victory, which also marked the horse's first career win, shows it has beaten proper opposition at least once. Since then, though, it has struggled to repeat that feat. Over the past six races, Artagnan has managed only a couple of placed finishes—a third and a fourth—and a blank run that came just a day ago. It has not found the winner's circle in twelve months.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The gap between that Class 2 success and Artagnan's more typical level tells you something important. When racing at Class 4, where it competes most often, the horse has won 1 of 4 races—a respectable 25% win rate. But those higher-class assignments clearly expose its limits. Across its full 15-race career, Artaghan has won twice and placed eight times, giving it a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races. For a horse that has shown it can win at a decent level, that record is disappointing, and the recent form drift suggests it may be struggling to find the right race and conditions right now. Trainer Ian Williams, who runs a successful yard with 96 winners this season, will be hoping the horse can recapture some of that 2024 form sooner rather than later.
