Tropez Power
Tropez Power is a seven-year-old who has spent most of his racing life chasing the kind of wins that feel just out of reach. In 52 races, he has crossed the line first only four times, winning roughly 1 in every 13 races, though that bare statistic masks where his real strengths lie. He is a horse that thrives on normal ground and comes alive at distances between just over a mile and a mile and two furlongs — on that combination, he has won 3 of his 23 races, a win rate of around 13 percent. The all-weather track at Southwell, however, is where he has truly made his mark. There, he is a specialist: three wins from just nine races, a win rate of roughly 1 in 3, suggesting that the synthetic surface suits him far better than most courses do.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
His last victory came at Southwell on 28 April 2024, nearly three years ago now, and since then he has slipped back into that grinding, frustrating pattern of near-misses. His recent form shows a horse still competing but not delivering — in his last six races, his best finish has been sixth place. Jockey Jason Hart has ridden him most often and found more success than most, winning 3 of 24 rides, roughly 1 in every 8 races. Trainer Mark Walford, based at Sheriff Hutton in North Yorkshire, clearly believes there is something left in the tank. In early 2024, Walford suggested that dropping Tropez Power's rating on grass and finding him a race where the ground is genuinely fast and dry could unlock another win. The all-weather miles have been part of that plan, qualifying him for important end-of-season races. Whether that calculated approach can reverse a long drought is an open question, but Walford's tactical thinking suggests Tropez Power has not yet been written off.
