Robert d'Ores
Robert d'Ores is a nine-year-old who knows exactly where he likes to run. The horse has won 3 of its 25 races—a win rate of roughly 1 in 8—but the real story is how heavily those victories cluster at Hexham. In 18 races at the track, he has won 3 times, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6. That is a significant edge, and it explains why his the yard keep bringing him back to this Northumberland course. His most recent win came there on 3 October 2025, and before that he won at the same track in December 2024, suggesting Hexham simply suits him in a way other courses do not.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse also thrives on slightly soft ground, winning 2 of his 8 races on those conditions—a 25% win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. He is trained by George Bewley at Colby in Cumbria, a yard that has sent out 7 winners this season, and is most often ridden by Jonathon Bewley, though their partnership has yielded just 2 wins from 20 races together. Robert d'Ores competes mainly at Class 5 level, where he has won 3 of 14 races (21%), but that success has dried up recently. He has not won in his last six races and was last seen finishing third just a day ago. At nine years old and with 25 career races to his name, Robert d'Ores is a marginal horse who survives by knowing his niche: Hexham, soft ground, and the lower levels. Whether those conditions will bring another win is now the waiting game.
