When a dog posts a composite score of 77, it means the data is converging from multiple angles. Senahel Sydney, trained by N J Hunt, is today's highest-rated runner and lines up in the 14:14 OR1 at Romford over 575 metres from trap 6.
His recent form reads 1-2-1-4-3-1, which is the kind of sequence that tells you this dog competes at a high level consistently. Three wins from his last six starts, all at open race grades at Monmore, with times that barely waver. His best of 28.35 and his worst of 28.51 over 480m at Monmore show a dog running within a tight band, which is exactly what you want from a reliable performer.
Today he switches venues from Monmore to Romford and steps up in distance from 480m to 575m. The trip change is the main question mark. He's bred by Droopys Sydney out of Senahel Jen, and the sire line suggests stamina shouldn't be an issue, but there's no substitute for proving it on the track.
His nearest rival on the ratings is Burrows Charm (trap 2) on a composite of 69, which represents a sizeable eight-point gap. Bacon Frazzles (trap 5, 52) and the rest are further back. If Senahel Sydney handles the distance, the class gap between him and this field should be telling.
One to follow closely, and one to add to your kennel tracker if the performance matches the numbers.
