Cavolo Nero
Cavolo Nero is a four-year-old horse that finally broke through with a first career win at Southwell back in January, and since then has proved itself a genuine competitor at Class 4 level—winning 1 of every 5 races in that grade. The horse won 2 of its last 6 races, most recently this week at Kempton Park on 19 August, which shows it remains in active form and capable of striking at short notice. It has now chalked up 4 wins from 13 races overall, a solid win rate of roughly 1 win in every 3 attempts, with a further 9 places that suggest consistent finishing power even when not winning outright.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Daniel Muscutt has ridden Cavolo Nero six times, winning just once together—a 17% return that hints the partnership hasn't quite clicked as a pairing, though that single win came at a meaningful moment. The horse is trained by Harry Eustace at Newmarket, where the yard has sent out 24 winners already this season, so it sits within a prolific operation. Eustace clearly has the horse competitive and aimed correctly at its level: the recent win at Kempton proves that Cavolo Nero responds when conditions and opposition suit, and with a runner currently in active form, there's every reason to expect it back on the track soon.
