Rosenborg
Rosenborg is a five-year-old who is still searching for a second career win after finally breaking through at Wexford eight weeks ago, on 7 August. His first victory came after five races without one, and since that breakthrough he has managed just one place finish from five subsequent runs — a third-place effort in his most recent outing, just a day ago. He wins roughly one race in every six attempts, which suggests he is a horse who needs to find the right race to land a blow.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by P J Rothwell at Tinahely in County Wicklow, Rosenborg is part of a yard that has been in good form this season, with 35 winners already sent out. The challenge for Rothwell now will be to time Rosenborg's entries carefully — his form over the past month shows inconsistency, with a run of seventh, twelfth, second, first and sixth place finishes suggesting he is a horse whose performance can swing wildly depending on the race setup and conditions. That solitary win at Wexford has at least proved he is capable on the track; the question is whether he can repeat it and build some momentum before the season moves on.
