Daretobedifferent

Daretobedifferent has won just once in nineteen races — a breakthrough moment that came at Nottingham back in May — but the three-year-old's form since then has been frustratingly inconsistent. Over the last six runs, the horse has finished outside the top three four times, with its best recent effort a fourth-place finish. That sole win came at a distance of around a mile and a quarter, and the horse does perform noticeably better when given that extra yardage: it wins roughly one in every five races between one mile one furlong and one mile two furlongs, compared to almost nowhere when stepped up into the higher-class company. At Class 5 level, where Daretobedifferent typically runs, it has managed nothing, with zero wins from six attempts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Trained by Des Donovan at Newmarket, the horse remains active and raced just yesterday, so the yard is still searching for a second win. Daretobedifferent is the kind of horse that can find the frame — it has finished in the top three on seven occasions from nineteen races — but converting those near-misses into winners has proven elusive. At its best trip and in the right race, there is enough evidence to suggest another victory is possible, but the four-month gap since the last one suggests the window of opportunity may be closing as the season winds down.
