Dash Of Azure
Dash Of Azure is a 4-year-old that has won twice from 16 races, landing roughly one victory in every eight outings. The horse's last success came at Thirsk on 6 September 2025—now a full year in the past—and that long gap without a win has become the story of its recent form. Over the last six races, stretching back from yesterday, it has managed nothing better than a couple of second-place finishes, with a handful of mid-field efforts in between. The pattern is clear: Dash Of Azure remains a consistent performer on the day, capable of running into the places, but the spark that produced those two wins has gone quiet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes this horse worth watching is its performance in Class 4 races, where it has won once from five attempts—a 20% win rate. That strikes a better note than its overall record and suggests there may be a level where it can find its feet again. The yard sending it out, trained by Ralph Beckett at Kimpton in Hampshire, is among the stronger operations in the country, with 107 winners to its name this season alone. That kind of firepower in the yard means Dash Of Azure is being given every chance to get back to winning ways. Its debut victory came at Kempton Park on 15 May 2025, and while the horse has shown enough since then to collect eight places from its other 15 races, finding that winning formula again would be the next small milestone in what remains a modest career.
