Miraculous
Miraculous was only recently introduced to the winner's enclosure but has found his rhythm at Chester, a racecourse in the North West that suits his running style perfectly. The 4-year-old has won twice at Chester from six races there — a win rate of roughly 1 in 3 — most recently four weeks ago on 19 September. That kind of course form is real; it suggests the track's layout or the type of race Chester stages simply plays to his strengths in a way other courses don't. His first career win came on 1 January 2025 at Newcastle, a breakthrough that took him to his 26th race to finally get off the mark, but he has since added three more victories, which points to a horse that is finding his level after a slow start.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire — a yard that sent out 128 winners this season alone — Miraculous has won 4 of his 26 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 6 starts. He has also finished in the top 3 on 10 other occasions, meaning he regularly gets into the shake-up. He performs best on normal ground, where he has won 2 of 8 races, and typically races in Class 4 company, a competitive but not elite level. Jack Mitchell, his most regular rider, has steered him to 1 win from 5 races together. His recent form reads 6-10-1-14-4-2 across his last six races, which includes that Chester win and a couple of finishes in the money, though he seems to be running hot and cold. With just one race behind him in the last few days, Miraculous remains active and in training, and Chester is a track worth following if he runs there again.
