High Storm
High Storm has won both its races this autumn, and with a fresh victory at Thirsk just days ago, the three-year-old is clearly in sharp form. The horse now has two wins from seven career races — hardly a dominant record on paper, but the timing and pattern of those wins tell a different story. High Storm won roughly 1 in every 3 races (29% win rate overall), and more impressively, it has picked up 2 of its last 6 outings, suggesting it is hitting its stride at exactly the right moment.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is High Storm's clear preference for slightly soft, muddy ground. On those conditions, the horse has an impressive 50% win rate — winning 2 of 4 races. That is the kind of pattern smart racing people notice and act on. The first win came at Doncaster on 28 March, and the most recent at Thirsk this week, showing the horse can win at different tracks when conditions suit. Trained by K. R. Burke at Coverham in North Yorkshire, High Storm is part of a yard that has already sent out 145 winners this season, so it is in capable hands. With the horse still racing hard and clearly improving, High Storm is one to watch — especially if rain is in the forecast.
