Zarvali
Zarvali is a three-year-old who has been quietly finding its feet this season, and this week things finally clicked. After a couple of unimpressive efforts — finishing seventh and eighth in earlier races — the horse has shown real improvement over its last three outings, placing second before sealing a first career win at Catterick Bridge on 11 May. One win and two places from five races tells you this is a horse that has been competitive more often than not, even when the winner's enclosure stayed out of reach.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
That win at Catterick Bridge is worth noting. It came just yesterday, which means Zarvali heads into whatever comes next on the back of a confidence-boosting performance and in the kind of form that gets trainers excited about what might be possible. Whether the track suited or the horse has simply matured into its racing, something has clearly clicked.
The trainer behind it is Roger Fell, who operates out of Nawton in North Yorkshire. Fell's yard has sent out 23 winners already this season, which is a solid body of work and suggests a team that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. Having a yard in that kind of form behind you is no small thing for a young horse still working out what racing is all about. Zarvali looks like exactly the sort of project a busy, winning yard picks up momentum with — a horse with a bit of ability that just needed time and the right opportunity. It found both at Catterick.
