Chicago Storm

His last win came at Stratford-on-Avon back in March 2025, nearly two years ago now. Since then, a run of six consecutive outings has brought no victories, though he did finish third and sixth in that sequence—enough to suggest he can still run a decent race, but not quite enough to break through. Most of his career has been spent in Class 4 company, where he has won just once from ten attempts.

There are small threads of promise in his record. Slightly soft or muddy ground seems to suit him: he has won 2 of his 5 races on that kind of surface, a 40% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall form. He also appears to run better at the longer distances, particularly between one mile six furlongs and two miles, though even there his win rate is just 2 wins from 15 races. His most consistent partnership has been with jockey Robbie David, who has steered him to two wins from eleven rides together—an 18% win rate that is noticeably better than his overall returns, suggesting they have found a rhythm.

At this stage of his career, Chicago Storm is the kind of horse that needs a bit of luck to run well: the right ground, the right company, and perhaps the right rider. When those elements align, as they did at Stratford and Naas before that, he is capable of winning. But the two-year gap since his last victory is a telling one, and with over 45 races without a win since then, his window of opportunity is narrowing.
