King Cherry
The colt did break through at Kempton Park three weeks ago on 30 September, a breakthrough that matters more than the bare record suggests — he has won roughly 1 in every 6 races at distances between five and six and a half furlongs, which is a real sweet spot for him. Outside that range, however, he has failed to win in five attempts, a sign that finding the right trip is crucial to his future.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Stuart Williams's yard at Newmarket has been prolific this season with 67 winners to their name, and King Cherry has shown enough early promise to warrant continued racing at a time when many horses his age would have been sent for a break or dropped down the ranks. His recent form has been patchy — he finished fourth only five days ago after a poor run two races earlier — but the win at Kempton suggests he has a level where he can be competitive. The next race will be telling; if the yard keep him at his preferred distance range, there is a chance he could add to his tally sooner rather than later.
