Plaid
Plaid is a three-year-old with genuine momentum right now, even if the raw numbers don't immediately shout it. With two wins from seven races, the horse sits at a 29 percent win rate—roughly 1 in every 3 attempts—which for a young horse still learning its trade is solid ground. What matters more is where those wins have come from: Plaid won at Kempton Park in December, then more recently took a race at Hamilton Park three months ago. That second victory, just over the summer, shows this horse hasn't gone dormant. It raced just yesterday, which means it's actively campaigned and staying competitive.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The last six races tell the real story of a horse finding its feet. The most recent outing was a win, and before that came a fourth-place finish. Going back further: third, fifth, second, and another win. That's two victories in the last six races alongside three places—the kind of form sheet you'd want to see from a young horse still maturing. There are no heavy defeats here, no long runs of mediocrity. Plaid is placing regularly and winning when conditions suit.
James Fanshawe's Newmarket yard has been prolific this season with 44 winners already, which speaks to the quality of the operation training Plaid. The trainer clearly knows how to get young horses to the track in peak condition and how to place them in races they can win. For a horse at this stage of its career, having a proven handler managing its progression matters significantly. Plaid looks like a horse with a future—one that's being trained with care and raced sensibly.
