The real key to this horse is finding him the right conditions and the right ground. On normal, standard going, he wins roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races — 3 wins from 17 attempts. He tends to race in Class 5 company, where he has won 2 from 14 races. Most importantly, he is in form right now. His last race was just a day ago, and he last won at Windsor eight weeks back on 22 June. His most recent form reads sixth, second, first, tenth, seventh and fourth — so he is still competitive and getting his head in front regularly enough to matter.
Daniel Muscutt has ridden him most often and has a strong win rate in the saddle, winning 2 of their 8 races together. Carroll remains bullish about his prospects and sees him as capable of more wins off his opening mark. With the yard sending out 136 winners this season, there is clearly plenty of skill in the stable, and Beelzebub seems to be the sort of horse that responds to intelligent placing rather than raw ability alone.
