The recent form figures tell a fairly honest story. Reading from most recent backwards — 7th, 10th, 8th, 6th, 3rd, 6th — there's a third place buried in there, but the overall trend is of a horse that tends to drift towards the middle and back of the field rather than threatening the winner. Jockey Kieran O'Neill has had the ride for six of those races and the pair are yet to find the breakthrough together, though it would be unfair to pin that entirely on the partnership — the results have been pretty consistent regardless of who is in the saddle.
Most of Chhota Saab's racing has come at Class 5 level, which represents the lower end of the British racing ladder — essentially the entry-level tier where horses are still finding their feet or competing at a modest grade. Four races at that level, no wins. The S Woods yard has been in decent form this season with 23 winners sent out, so the tools and the know-how are there. Whether Chhota Saab can finally convert one of these efforts into a first win remains the question — but every horse that has ever won a race was winless once, and the placed finishes suggest there might be something to work with yet.
