Dr Seb
Dr Seb is a nine-year-old who has found his level in the middle ranks, winning 2 of his 13 races and finishing in the top 3 on six other occasions. The horse loves Uttoxeter above all else — he has won 2 of his 4 races at that track, which is a remarkable win rate for any horse. Both his wins came there: the first on 6 June 2024 and then again on 26 July the same year. Since then, nothing has clicked. He has not won in his last six races, though he did finish fourth and fifth in that run, suggesting he still has something to offer on his day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Where Dr Seb truly shines is when Sean Bowen is in the saddle. The pair have clicked together in a way that matters — they have won 2 of their 5 races as a team, a 40 per cent win rate that is substantially better than the horse's overall record. With his regular trainer Mike Sowersby at Little Barugh in North Yorkshire, Dr Seb performs best on normal ground, where he has won 2 of 7 races. He is also a Class 4 specialist, winning 2 of 6 races at that level — close to one in three. These are not the stats of a world-beater, but they point to a horse with genuine strengths and clear preferences. At nine years old, Dr Seb is in his prime years for a horse at this level, and with the right ride at the right track on the right day, he remains capable of getting his head in front again.
