Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
He is trained by Dan Skelton at Alcester in Warwickshire, a yard that has been firing on all cylinders this season with 198 winners already. Skelton is known for bringing horses to the track well-prepared, which counts for something on debut, though even the sharpest trainer cannot predict how a young horse will react to the noise, the crowd, and the sheer strangeness of racing. Francisco Alvares could take to it immediately, or he could need the run to learn. Either way, this is a blank canvas — watch this one, but hold your expectations lightly until he has shown you what he can do.
