Real Quartz
Real Quartz is a 5-year-old with a perfect record that would make any trainer smile: two wins from two races, a 100 per cent win rate that marks him out as a genuinely exciting prospect. Both victories came in quick succession — first at Carlisle in November, then at Doncaster just over a month later in December. The gap since then has been long, though. Real Quartz has not raced in roughly three months, a break that will have given him time to mature but also means his return will be worth watching closely to see if he has come back with his edge intact.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Dan Skelton's yard at Alcester has been firing on all cylinders this season, sending out 187 winners, so Real Quartz is in capable hands. Skelton knows how to get the best from his horses, and the fact that he has given this one such a long rest suggests he is thinking carefully about where to pitch him next — likely aiming for a race worthy of a horse with genuine winning form. A perfect record from two races is not luck; it points to a horse that has something about him, and the consistency of winning at two different tracks shows he is not a one-place wonder. When he does return, Real Quartz will have genuine reason to be feared.
