Ibn Altheeb
Ibn Altheeb has had a frustrating season so far, winning just 2 of his 15 races, but there is something worth watching in the detail of his form. The 3-year-old has now been racing for just over a year, and while a 13% win rate might sound modest, he has shown real promise over his preferred distance of between just over a mile and a mile and two furlongs — winning 2 of his last 7 races at that trip, which is a 29% win rate and genuinely solid for a horse at his level. His most recent win came only this week at Musselburgh on 12 October, following a third-place finish just days earlier, which suggests he is in a vein of form worth following.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out most is where he struggles. Ibn Altheeb has never won in a higher class of race — he has failed to break through in five attempts at Class 5 level — which tells you exactly where his ceiling sits. He thrives in the lower grades, and Iain Jardine's yard at Carrutherstown has the form to make the most of horses like this one, sending out 57 winners already this season. His recent form reads as a series of close attempts: a first and seventh, then a tenth and eleventh, before bouncing back with a fourth and that winning third last week. It is the form of a horse that is running often, finding his level, and occasionally beating it. For a 3-year-old with just two wins to his name, that midweek success at Musselburgh suggests there is still some upside to find.
