Double Powerful
Double Powerful has the look of a horse that thrives in lower-grade races but struggles to find consistent form at higher levels. The seven-year-old has won 6 races from 24 starts — a respectable one-in-four win rate — but the real story lies in where those victories come. In Class 5 races, the kind of sprint that attracts modest fields and modest prize money, Double Powerful has won 4 of 7 attempts (57%), a genuinely strong record that suggests he knows how to get the job done when the bar is set low enough. Step him up, though, and things fall apart. He has not won in his last six races, and his most recent victory came at Cheltenham on 15 November 2024 — nearly two years ago.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Neil Mulholland's yard at Limpley Stoke has been sending out winners all season, but Double Powerful is testing the trainer's patience. According to Mulholland, the horse can be highly strung, which may explain his streaky form. The trainer saw promise in his chase debut at Cheltenham, where he ran what was described as "an absolute cracker" after being dropped out early to build his jumping confidence. That race, it seems, remains his high-water mark. His regular jockey Richie McLernon has ridden him 8 times, winning twice — the same 25% win rate as his overall record, suggesting consistency rather than a flash of luck.
The puzzle with Double Powerful is whether he is a horse who simply belongs at Class 5 level and is now past his best, or whether a change of approach might unlock a bit more. He was active just a day ago, so the yard clearly still believes there is something to work with. His recent form reads 3-2-8-5-2, which is respectable without being inspiring. For a horse now seven years old with nearly two years since his last win, the clock is ticking.
