Daaris

The key to understanding Daaris is knowing where it thrives. Send it out over a distance of a mile and six furlongs to two miles, and suddenly the picture brightens considerably. Over that range it has won 4 times from 27 races — about 1 in every 7, which is a meaningfully better return — suggesting this is a horse that genuinely needs the extra distance to show its best. And if you want to find its favourite patch of ground, you need to head to Wolverhampton. Three wins from 13 races there makes it a genuine course specialist, and that track clearly suits something about the way Daaris races. Its most recent win came at Wolverhampton on 27 December 2025, a victory that was only five months ago, so this is no faded force.

Most of Daaris's races have come at Class 6 level — the entry-level tier of British racing — where it has won 4 from 29, roughly 1 in every 7. That context matters: this is not a horse competing for big prizes or chasing prestige. It is competing in the bread-and-butter races that fill out race cards up and down the country, and it does so with a consistency that many horses at this level simply cannot match. Thirty places from 48 races is a remarkable level of reliability.

Trained by Kevin Frost at Averham Park in Nottinghamshire — a yard that has already sent out 25 winners this season, showing it is in sharp form — Daaris is most often partnered by jockey Jack Mitchell, who has ridden it to 1 win from their 7 races together, around 1 in every 7. The horse raced just one day ago and remains fully active. Recent form of a win and two top-six finishes in the last five runs suggests Daaris is ticking along nicely and still very much a horse to keep an eye on at Wolverhampton.
