Highland Harvey
Highland Harvey is a 4-year-old still hunting for consistency after breaking his duck at Great Yarmouth six weeks ago. The horse has run 18 times in his career and won just once — a breakthrough victory at the Norfolk track on 15 July that came after what must have been a frustrating run of near-misses. He has finished second or third in six races as well, which tells you he is competitive but struggles to quite get the job done. His win rate of roughly 1 in every 17 races shows how difficult it is for him to find the top spot.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What is most interesting about Highland Harvey is his form over distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs. Over seven races at that trip, he has won once and posted several placings — a 14% win rate that is markedly better than his overall record. That stretch of ground seems to suit him, and his trainer will be hoping to get him back there soon. His recent form, however, is concerning. In his last six runs he has managed only two placings, including a third last time out, and looks to be treading water. His regular jockey N G McCullagh has had nine rides aboard him without a win, so there may be a case for trying a change in the saddle. At this level, small adjustments can make a difference, and Highland Harvey needs one soon if he is to become a regular winner rather than a one-timer.
