Obsidian Verse
Obsidian Verse is a three-year-old still searching for consistency after breaking through with a maiden win at Southwell at the end of April. Since that success four months ago, the horse has struggled to recapture that form, winning just once in eight career starts and finishing in the money only twice — a 12 per cent win rate that reflects a horse still learning its trade.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form tells a cautious story. In the last six races, there have been no wins and only one place, with finishes ranging from fifth to eighth. The horse raced just yesterday, suggesting it remains actively campaigned and available for upcoming opportunities. Trainer James Fanshawe's Newmarket yard has been prolific this season with 44 winners, so Obsidian Verse has the benefit of a high-volume operation, though the horse's own record at the top level — zero wins from three attempts in Class 4 races — suggests it may be more comfortable in less competitive company. The fact that a breakthrough came at Southwell, a lower-tier track, hints that this is a horse with potential still to be unlocked, but one that needs to find the right race and conditions to do it.
