Ballynaheer
Ballynaheer is a seven-year-old who has found his rhythm on normal ground, winning 5 of his 18 races on fast, dry conditions—a win rate of roughly one in every three-and-a-half races. That's his sweet spot. Away from those conditions, he wins just once every 20 races, which tells you how much ground preference matters to a horse's form. His career tally stands at 5 wins and 13 places from 28 races overall, making him a consistent minor winner rather than a headline act, but consistency is something.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His last victory came at Market Rasen six months ago, and while recent form has been patchy—a fourth, a win, two fifths, a second, and a fourth from his last six outings—he showed he can still find the winner's circle not so long ago. He races most often in Class 5, the lower tier of competition, where he has won 3 of 14 starts. Jonathan Burke, his most regular partner, has ridden him 8 times and landed 2 wins together, a 25% win rate that suggests they work well as a unit. The horse is trained by David Dennis at Edgcote in Oxfordshire, a yard that has been productive this season with 7 winners already. Ballynaheer raced just yesterday, so he is actively campaigned and clearly still part of the yard's plans. For a horse in his seventh year, that speaks to a level of soundness and willingness that keeps him competitive at his level.
