Shoof Baeed

What stands out is the timing. Shoof Baeed has been racing consistently through the summer, but it has been eight weeks since his last win, and his form over the past three outings tells a story of inconsistency: he finished third most recently, then sixth, then first before that. That win at Redcar came quickly in his career, which is promising, but he has not returned to the winner's circle since. He is trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out 131 winners this season — a sign he is in a stable with the form and experience to get the best out of him. At three years old, Shoof Baeed still has time to develop, and his recent racing suggests the yard are keeping him active and building his experience. Whether he can find his way back to winning form will depend on finding the right race and conditions to suit him.
