Great
Great has tasted success sparingly but decisively — a four-year-old who wins roughly once in every seven races, with three victories from 22 outings so far. The horse has shown real affection for fast, dry ground, winning three times from seven races under those conditions (43%), which is nearly triple its overall record. That preference matters: it tells you something reliable about what this horse needs to perform.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The most recent win came two months ago at Pontefract on 5 August, which marked a return to form after a quieter spell. Before that, the horse had finished third twice in its last six races and put in a couple of poor efforts, including a seventh and a sixth, but bounced back with that victory. Last time out just yesterday it managed a fifth-place finish, suggesting it is still racing regularly and holding its own.
There is a note of caution in the statistics at the higher end of the ladder: Great has not won in five attempts at Class 4 races — the tougher competitions — which suggests it may operate better at a slightly lower level. Sam England's yard at Guiseley, in West Yorkshire, has been prolific this season with 49 winners already, so Great is in a stable doing well right now. For a horse that loves good ground and has proved it can find the winner's enclosure, there is still mileage here if the conditions align.
