Sheer Raz
Eight races into its career and still waiting for that first winner's enclosure moment, Sheer Raz is a 6-year-old who has shown just enough to keep the yard hopeful without ever quite delivering the result. Two placed finishes from those eight outings tell a familiar story — competitive enough to feature, but not yet able to cross the line first.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for interesting reading. A 17th-place finish a few runs back looked worrying, but Sheer Raz has bounced back to record back-to-back third-place finishes sandwiched around a pair of fifth places. That kind of consistency in the top half of the field, without the win to show for it, is the maddening reality for horses at this level. The horse raced just yesterday, so there is no shortage of racecourse miles being put in.
What works in Sheer Raz's favour is the trainer. Gavin Cromwell's yard at Navan in County Meath has sent out 97 winners this season alone — that is not a yard stumbling along hoping for the best. Cromwell is a sharp, patient operator, and the fact that he continues to run Sheer Raz regularly suggests he sees something worth persevering with. A trainer sending out that volume of winners does not keep a horse busy without a reason.
