Fantasy Master

Fantasy Master is an eight-year-old who has spent most of his career as a steady campaigner at lower levels, winning 6 of his 46 races. That 13% win rate reflects a horse who picks up prizes without dominating — he has claimed victory just once in his last six outings, a Chelmsford win ten months ago, and has since collected three second-place finishes and a third without getting back to the winner's circle. But his trainer Robert Cowell, now with him at Newmarket, sees genuine potential. After taking on the horse relatively recently, Cowell has watched him produce an eye-catching effort at Ascot and believes he is ready to break through again, suggesting he should win over his next couple of starts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

What makes Fantasy Master interesting is how he transforms depending on conditions. On standard ground, he wins roughly 1 in every 3 races (2 wins from 7), but his real edge emerges on softer, wetter ground — Cowell reckons he will run over 5 furlongs on soft turf or 6 furlongs on easier ground, the distances where he has shown his best form. His record at Doncaster is solid too, with 2 wins from 6 races there, suggesting he handles the track well. When ridden by jockey David Egan, he boasts a 21% win rate across their 14 races together (3 wins), considerably better than his overall figures and a sign that the partnership clicks.

At Class 4 level — the modest tier where he typically races — Fantasy Master has won 3 of 19 races, which puts him roughly in line with his career average. His breakthrough came in September 2022 at Nottingham with a Class 2 victory, a significant prize that remains the highlight of his record. The horse is active and battle-hardened at eight years old, having raced more than forty times, and appears in reasonable form. His owner, Tony Blewitt, is hands-on in selecting his races, and with Cowell convinced he is improving, Fantasy Master may yet add to his modest tally.
