Ghasham

Ghasham is a 7-year-old who has put together a modest career, winning 3 of his 35 races and finishing second or third in 14 more — the sort of record that adds up to a dependable mid-field operator rather than a star in waiting. He was first to the post at Cork in April 2022, and his most recent victory came at Hexham four months ago, suggesting he can still deliver the goods when conditions align. What makes him interesting, though, is not consistency but a peculiar split in his record: at the right distance — somewhere between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs — he comes alive, winning one race in every four tries. Move him outside that sweet spot, or up in class to the bigger competitions, and he struggles significantly. Over thirteen races in Class 4 events, he has not won once.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

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

His recent form paints the picture of a horse that gets competitive in smaller races but rarely dominates. His last six outings show three second-place finishes and a third, mixed with a win and one well-beaten run, suggesting he hovers around the prizes without quite grabbing them consistently. Sam England's Guiseley yard, which sent out 49 winners this season alone, clearly keeps him active and race-fit. Charlie Todd, his most frequent jockey, has ridden him seven times without a victory, though that matters less than finding the right race shape — distance, ground, and class level all seem to matter more to Ghasham than the man in the saddle. He raced just yesterday, so he is plainly in work and his trainer sees enough to keep him firing.
