Blakefell
Blakefell is a three-year-old still finding his feet after breaking his duck at Musselburgh back in May. That single win from nine races tells you he is a horse who runs often but struggles to finish ahead of the field — he has landed a place in five of his outings, which suggests he gets into contention without quite getting over the line. His recent form shows he is still competitive: two seconds, a third, and a sixth in his last six races means he turns up and puts in an effort, even if the wins are sparse.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The worry, though, is that Blakefell has not won since May, three months ago, and has yet to land a victory at the highest level. He has run three times in top-class races and come away empty every time, which is the real ceiling question for a horse like this. Trained by Ivan Furtado at Wiseton in South Yorkshire — a yard in good form with 43 winners this season — Blakefell is clearly in the right hands, but he may simply be a horse who finds it hard to win. Only time will tell if his Musselburgh victory was the start of something or a one-off breakthrough that proves hard to repeat.
