Zachary Hickes
Zachary Hickes is a 4-year-old that has picked up some real momentum in recent weeks, winning twice in his last six races and putting together the kind of form that suggests there is plenty more to come. His overall record of two wins and four top-3 finishes from seven races tells you he is a consistent performer — winning roughly one in every three or four races he runs — but the shape of his recent racing is what really catches the eye. After breaking through for his first win at Great Yarmouth back in August, he has shown he belongs in this company, and this week's victory at Wolverhampton proves he is sharp and still improving.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes his current run especially encouraging is the pattern of his last six races. He has finished in the top 3 three times, won twice, and only once dipped outside the frame entirely — a solid win rate for a horse at his level. Roger Varian, who trains him at Newmarket, is one of the sharpest operators in the country, and his yard has already sent out 87 winners this season, so the infrastructure around Zachary Hickes is clearly set up for success. A horse that has only raced seven times and is already winning regularly at this stage of his career, with a trainer of Varian's calibre, has genuine scope to keep climbing.
