Silawi
Silawi is a horse that knows exactly what it likes, and Windsor is top of the list. The six-year-old has won twice at the Berkshire track from three visits — a remarkable record that speaks to a genuine affinity for the place. Both wins came on fast, dry ground, which is not a coincidence. Silawi thrives when conditions are firm underfoot, winning 2 of its last 3 races (67%) on such going, and performs best at distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs. Over that stretch of ground on the right terrain, the horse has won twice from three attempts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Recent form tells a story of steady improvement punctuated by a standout moment. In its last six races, Silawi has won twice — including a Class 1 victory at Windsor on 23 August 2025, exactly a year ago. That class of win proves the horse belongs at the highest level when everything aligns. The other recent victory came just days before that, suggesting a patch of excellent form. Between those successes came a string of places and one poor run, which is typical of most racehorses — they are not consistent machines, and Silawi is no exception.
With 2 wins from 7 races overall (roughly winning once every 3.5 attempts), this is a horse that earns its living without dominating. But the statistics mask something worth noticing: Silawi's record improves dramatically when the conditions and track suit it. For trainer Hamad Al Jehani's Newmarket yard, which has sent out 18 winners this season, Silawi represents exactly the kind of specialist horse worth keeping sharp — one that does not win often, but knows where to find the winner's circle. Last active just a day ago, the horse remains in training and in the mix for competitive racing.
