Cossack Chach
Cossack Chach has been a frustratingly inconsistent proposition for the yard, but there are genuine reasons to keep faith. The six-year-old has won twice from thirteen races over his career, a modest record, yet his most recent run — just a day ago — saw him finish fourth, suggesting he remains sound and competitive. His last victory came at Sligo on 2 October 2024, a win that came after a lengthy absence from the winner's circle, which hints at a horse capable of finding the frame when conditions align.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The real story lies in his partnership with jockey J J Slevin. When the pair link up, Cossack Chach transforms into something altogether different: they have won two of their five races together, a 40% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record of winning roughly 1 in every 7 races. That's the kind of figure that makes trainers and owners sit up and take notice. Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore's Milnathort yard, which has produced 49 winners this season, clearly sees something in this horse worth persisting with, and his recent activity suggests he remains a live contender at the right track, the right conditions, and crucially, with the right jockey in the saddle. The challenge now is engineering those circumstances again.
