Blue Hercules
Blue Hercules is still hunting for his first win after nine races, but the recent form suggests he is knocking on the door. The three-year-old has finished in the money four times from nine outings, most notably with back-to-back second-place finishes in his last six races. That kind of consistency — crossing the line in the top three more often than not — usually means a breakthrough is close.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by William Muir and Chris Grassick at their Lambourn yard, Blue Hercules is part of a team that has already sent out 20 winners this season. The fact that he keeps running just behind the winner suggests the talent is there; he is simply up against horses slightly better than him, or he needs the race to unfold in his favour. Last time out, he finished eighteen lengths off the pace, which broke the pattern, but before that he had shown real promise with those consecutive runners-up finishes. With a yard in form and a horse clearly capable of placing regularly, another race or two might be all it takes.
