The Ubermensch
The Ubermensch has taken five weeks to find his way back to the winner's circle, which tells you something about how hard it is to win races even when you've already done it once. The 4-year-old broke through at Great Yarmouth in early July, and that single win from 11 races — a 9 per cent win rate — is the kind of record that belongs to a horse still searching for his level. What gives him hope is that when the ground and distance align, he can produce. Over a mile and three to a mile and four furlongs, he has won 1 of his last 5 races (20 per cent), nearly double his career average. That's not a massive sample, but it matters.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His recent form is the real puzzle. In his last six outings he has finished fifth, first, second, third, fourth and second — a scattered pattern that suggests inconsistency, though the two placing efforts either side of that win show he can find some form at least. He last raced just a day ago, so he is actively campaigned. Michael Bell's Newmarket yard, which has already sent out 44 winners this season, clearly believes there is something to work with here. The problem is that The Ubermensch has yet to win in Class 4 company, the standard level where most horses his age make their living. Three races at that level, three blanks. Until he proves he can get the job done consistently at his apparent ceiling, he remains what he appears to be: a horse with a modicum of ability, one good day at the track to his name, and everything still to prove.
