Captain Ted
Captain Ted is a 4-year-old who has yet to find his way to the winner's enclosure. From two career races, he has one top-3 finish to show and no wins — a record that puts him squarely in the learning phase. His most recent outing came 161 days ago, when he finished eighth, suggesting a lengthy absence from the track. Before that, he ran fifth in his previous race, so he is returning from a five-month break without recent form to build on.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is trained by Chris Grant, who operates out of Billingham in Cleveland. Grant's yard has been modest this season, with four winners sent out so far, which is the kind of tally you would expect from a small to mid-sized operation. Captain Ted will need to show improvement on his return after such a long layoff, and he will be hoping that the break has done him good rather than leaving him rusty. At four years old, time is ticking for him to prove he belongs in the winner's circle.
