Asfoora

The pattern of Asfoora's form suggests it is a horse that needs everything to align. Ridden most often by jockey Oisin Murphy, it has a decent record together—2 wins from 8 races, a 25% win rate—which hints that Murphy knows how to get the best out of it. The horse also strongly prefers fast, dry ground, winning 2 of 8 races when conditions are crisp and quick. Critically, Asfoora competes almost exclusively at the highest level: it runs in Class 1 races and has won 2 of 7 at that standard, a respectable 29% return. This is a horse playing in the premier league, not dropping down to easier company. Trained by Henry Dwyer, Asfoora remains active and racing despite the recent dry spell, but the gap since its last win—now more than a year—and the awful recent form suggest this veteran may be heading towards the end of its useful career.
