Back From Dubai
Back From Dubai has spent nearly five years at the lower rungs of British racing, proving himself a reliable if unspectacular performer who knows exactly the sort of race and ground he needs to win. The nine-year-old has accumulated 10 wins from 70 races — winning roughly 1 in every 7 outings — but the figures flatten a more interesting story: he is a completely different horse on slow, muddy ground, where he has won 5 of his 9 races (56%) rather than the 5 wins from 61 on anything faster. In races at the lower Class 6 level, where he has competed most of his career, he wins at a reasonable 16% rate (9 wins from 56), showing he belongs there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Roy Bowring's yard at Edwinstowe has trained Back From Dubai since his debut back in January 2022, and the horse has served as a trusty veteran of modest Class 6 contests. His last success came at Doncaster in May of this year — four months ago now — and he holds a small but meaningful edge at that track, having won 2 of his 8 races there. With Lewis Edmunds in the saddle for most of his career, the pair have managed just 2 wins from 28 races together, suggesting they work better apart. Still raced actively at nine years old, Back From Dubai's recent form is patchy: he has picked up a place in his last six runs and won one, but he is clearly a horse for patient supporters rather than the faint-hearted. When the ground turns heavy and the field is right, he remains capable of showing up.
