Ash Hobbs
Ash Hobbs is a 5-year-old horse trained by Henry de Bromhead at Knockeen in County Waterford, and the animal is very much a work in progress. From three races, it has won once and placed once, giving it a 33% win rate — a solid win rate for a horse still finding its feet, though the recent form tells a mixed story. In its last three outings, the horse finished first, then fourth, then fifth, so while that opening victory came as recently as this week at Fairyhouse on 10 October, momentum appears to have stalled.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's worth noting is that Ash Hobbs broke its duck at Fairyhouse, a track where it will presumably race again given the success there. De Bromhead's yard is in good form this season, having sent out 110 winners, so the horse is at least surrounded by a trainer with plenty of firepower. At this stage in its career, with just three races under its belt and only one win to its name, Ash Hobbs remains very much a horse to watch rather than one with an established pattern. The real question is whether that Fairyhouse win will prove the start of something, or whether the subsequent fourth and fifth-place finishes represent a return to the form we saw before the breakthrough.
