Colombier
Colombier is a six-year-old that has finally found the winning formula after a long wait, and now the challenge is whether it can strike again. The horse broke through for its first career win at Epsom Downs eight weeks ago on 5 June, a breakthrough that came after four earlier races without success. That victory suggests Colombier has the ability to get the job done when conditions align, though the numbers tell a cautious story: just one win from five races overall, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 attempts. The horse also has two placed finishes to its name, so it is capable of running well even when it does not win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Recent form shows the kind of inconsistency that marks out a horse still searching for its level. In the last five races, Colombier has finished sixth most recently, then fifth, then sixth again before that breakthrough win, and tenth before that. That is a mixed picture—some decent efforts mixed with one or two outings where it has failed to trouble the top placings. Trainer Hamad Al Jehani, who runs his yard from Newmarket in Suffolk, has been sending out 18 winners this season, so there is racing pedigree in the operation, but Colombier remains very much a work in progress. The horse raced just a day ago, so it is actively campaigned and still chasing another win. The real question now is whether that June victory was the start of something, or simply a one-off moment on a day when everything fell into place.
