Possessive
Possessive is a two-year-old with real promise but a frustratingly erratic run of form. The horse won on its first try at York back in May, a brilliant start that suggested genuine potential, but the road since then has been bumpy. In its last four races, Possessive has finished eighth, third, seventh, and first — a pattern that tells you this is a horse capable of winning one day and struggling the next. It has picked up a couple of places to go with that early victory, giving it a record of one win and two places from four races overall, a win rate of 1 in 4.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The encouraging part is that Possessive won last time out, just a day ago at York, the same track where it scored its maiden success five months earlier. That suggests York might suit this horse. The trainer, R. Mike Smith, runs a competitive yard at Galston in East Ayrshire that has already sent out 25 winners this season, so Possessive is in capable hands. The question now is whether this young horse can string together consistent form or whether those wild swings between defeat and victory will continue to define its early career.
