Wardlaw
Wardlaw is a young horse still finding his feet at three years old, and his form over the past month or so tells a story of growing consistency even if victories remain hard to come by. In his last six races, he has finished second or better five times — two wins are bracketed by a run of second-place finishes that suggest he is competitive, just not quite finishing the job. His record overall stands at one win and seven places from eleven races, a modest return, but the pattern of that recent form is more encouraging than the bare statistics suggest.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
That one victory came at Beverley back in August, and he returned to the same track seven weeks later to pick up another win, which points to genuine aptitude over the 1m6f to 2m distance range. Over those longer trips he has won 1 of his 6 races, a 17 percent win rate that stands well above his career average and hints at where his real strength lies. Sir Mark Prescott, his trainer at Newmarket, has saddled 47 winners already this season, and Wardlaw appears to be a horse being carefully placed rather than rushed — the kind of runner who, despite limited wins, may still develop into something useful if he can convert those near misses into victories.
